Summary
During a dinner at Mar-a-Lago, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau discussed significant differences between the Canada-U.S. and Mexico-U.S. borders in terms of drug trafficking. While addressing the opioid crisis, Trump indicated plans for substantial tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada unless action is taken to control drug smuggling. Concerns arise regarding the economic impact of such tariffs on U.S. households, with estimates suggesting a potential increase in expenses up to $1,820 per household. Amidst this, Trudeau committed to enhancing border security and collaboration on drug trafficking.
