Canada agrees with Trump's call to safeguard border against undocumented migrants and drugs, Champagne says

The article from The Globe and Mail discusses the ongoing concerns and diplomatic efforts surrounding U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policies, particularly his imposition of tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland and other ministers are actively engaging with U.S. officials to address these tariffs, which were initially justified by Trump on national security grounds. The article highlights the frustration among Canadian officials due to the unpredictability of Trump's decisions, which often seem to be made unilaterally or via social media. There's mention of a recent meeting where Canadian ministers expressed their concerns directly to U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, emphasizing the need for a stable and predictable trade relationship. The discussions also touch on broader trade issues, including the renegotiation of NAFTA, now known as the USMCA, and the potential for retaliatory measures from Canada if the tariffs persist. The overarching theme is the tension and uncertainty in Canada-U.S. trade relations under Trump's administration.
