Canada Unveils $1.3 Billion Border Security Plan, Including Aerial Intelligence Task Force, Amid Trump’s 25% Tariff Threat
Dec 18, 2024, 02:18 AM
The Canadian government has announced a $1.3 billion (CAD) border security plan aimed at addressing concerns raised by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump regarding the flow of migrants and illegal drugs across the northern border. This funding, which translates to approximately $908 million in U.S. dollars, will be allocated over six years and includes the establishment of a 24/7 'Aerial Intelligence Task Force' that will utilize helicopters, drones, and mobile surveillance towers. The initiative is intended to mitigate the potential impact of Trump's threat to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian imports unless Canada takes measures to curb irregular migration and drug trafficking. The plan was unveiled amid rising tensions between Canada and the U.S., particularly in light of Trump's recent statements regarding border security. Canadian officials have emphasized that this investment is part of a broader strategy to enhance border monitoring and security measures.
