Canada is gearing up for a possible increase in migrant arrivals as the United States intensifies its efforts to curb illegal immigration. The ongoing tariff dispute between the U.S. and Canada is currently on a temporary 30-day pause as both nations negotiate a potential resolution. However, during this interim period, U.S. President Donald Trump has initiated a stringent crackdown on unauthorized immigration, raising concerns in Canada about a significant influx of migrants at the border.
Dan Williams of CGTN reports that Canadian authorities are closely monitoring the situation, implementing measures to manage and support any potential surge effectively. The anticipated increase in migrants poses both challenges and opportunities for Canada, particularly in areas such as housing, employment, and social services.
As negotiations between the U.S. and Canada continue, the temporary hold on tariffs provides a crucial window for both countries to address not only trade-related issues but also broader immigration concerns that could impact bilateral relations and border security.
