President Donald J. Trump will delay a 25 percent tariff on Canadian goods for 30 days after the country’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, announced his government will make significant investments in enhancing border security and join a U.S.-led joint taskforce to crack down on fentanyl trafficking. The Canadian leader also pledged that he would move to add Mexican drug cartels to his country’s list of terrorist entities — mirroring a similar move by President Trump last month. (Article by William Upton republished from TheNationalPulse.com) “I just had a productive call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — strengthening the border with new helicopters, new technology, more personnel, increased coordination with our American partners, and more resources to combat fentanyl trafficking. Nearly 10,000 officers are and will be on the ground protecting our border,” Trudeau wrote in a statement on X (formerly Twitter).

The Canadian Prime Minister added: “In addition, Canada is making new commitments. We will appoint a fentanyl czar, add Mexican cartels to the list of terrorist entities, ensure that we keep an eye on the border 24/7, and launch, with the United States, a joint strike force on organized crime, fentanyl trafficking and money laundering. I also signed a new intelligence directive focused on organized crime and fentanyl, which will be supported by an investment of $200 million.”

Earlier on Monday, The National Pulse reported that President Trump agreed to delay a 25 percent tariff on goods imported from Mexico after its president, Claudia Sheinbaum, announced she would send 10,000 Mexican National Guard troops to help secure its border with the United States. According to Sheinbaum, the Mexican military personnel will also assist in hunting down drug traffickers.

Meanwhile, Trump’s imposition of a 10 percent tariff on goods imported from China appears set to take effect this evening. China has pledged to retaliate against the move.
