Canada wants joint police force with US to patrol the northern border
Story by Graig Graziosi • 1w
Canada has reportedly proposed creating a joint "strike force" with US law enforcement officials to patrol the Canada-US border in an effort to stop transnational organized crime.
The move would serve the dual benefit of not only reducing crime, but also — potentially — convincing President-elect Donald Trump to drop his planned tariffs against Canada.
Politico reported that Canada's Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc and its Foreign Affairs Minster Melanie Joly spoke with Trump's incoming "border czar" Tom Homan in a phone call on Monday. The discussion occurred on the same day that Canada announced its $1.3bn border security package.
“It’s an important step to show Canadians and our American partners that we share their concern around border security and border integrity. We have taken note of President Trump’s comments,” LeBlanc said.
