In Manitoba, along the longest undefended border in the world, Canadians push back against Trump’s allegations of an “invasion” of migrants and drugs.

Canada’s prime minister said it’s “in the interest of Canadians as well as Americans” to strengthen border security and raised concern about the rising volume of illegal guns and drugs flowing north from the US.

President Donald Trump told reporters hours after taking office that he was considering levying a blanket duty on Mexico and Canada on Feb. 1.

Trump said in an Oval Office signing ceremony on Monday that his administration will impose a 25% tax on goods from Canada and Mexico that may come as soon as February 1 – a move that could raise prices for American consumers.
