According to the official, Canada began to implement a large -scale program for strengthening the security of the border, which provided for 1.3 billion dollars. The plan includes the deployment of additional helicopters, the introduction of modern technologies and the creation of new specialized units. Closer coordination with American security services is also planned. At present, about 10,000 employees have already attracted the border, and their number will continue to grow.

In addition to the measures to protect the border, Canada took the obligation to appoint a special coordinator to combat fentanil and officially recognize drug cartels with terrorist organizations. The country will also provide round -the -clock observation abroad and create a joint strike group in the United States to counteract organized crime, drug dealer and laundering.

Within the framework of this cooperation, a new reconnaissance directive to combat organized crime and the illegal spread of fentanyl was signed. For its implementation, the Canadian government will allocate $ 200 million.

According to Newsweek, Canada is the third largest supplier of goods in the United States, in particular, the lion's share of American oil imports comes from there. In 2023, Canada accounted for 52% of the imported US oil and almost all of natural gas imports. Canada’s economy can receive a serious blow, since about 75% of the country's total exports falls on the United States.

If tariffs come into force, this will lead to an increase in the value of Canadian goods in the American market, which can affect the prices and volumes of supplies.
