Canada Faces Migrant Surge, U.S. Tariffs Strain Relations

The U.S. government's stringent immigration policies under President Trump have led to a significant increase in migrants fleeing the United States for Canada. This migration surge is attributed to fears of deportation and harsh immigration enforcement, with many migrants possessing temporary status in the U.S. now seeking refuge in Canada. Canadian authorities, including the Canada Border Services Agency, warn of a potential 'tsunami' of migrants entering Canada, which the country may struggle to manage due to limited border enforcement resources. Additionally, the U.S. has imposed tariffs on Canadian goods, further straining relations. These developments have prompted Canadian experts to caution about increased illegal immigration and potential drug trafficking issues. The evolving situation reflects heightened tensions and challenges along the U.S.-Canada border.
