Progress on the Situation at Our Northern Border

On February 3, 2025, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14197, addressing security concerns at the U.S.-Canada border by pausing the imposition of increased tariffs on Canadian goods until March 4, 2025. This decision follows Canada's initial steps to combat illegal migration and drug trafficking, which President Trump considers a threat to U.S. national security and economy. The pause allows for further assessment, with potential legal and political implications if the situation does not improve, as the tariffs could significantly affect U.S.-Canada trade relations.
