President Donald Trump has successfully forced Mexico and Canada to take immediate action on border security, using the power of economic pressure to compel both countries to deploy military forces and increase enforcement against drug cartels and illegal immigration. After initially attempting to resist Trump’s tariffs, both nations quickly changed course, agreeing to implement his security demands.
BREAKING: After begging President Trump on the phone, Justin Trudeau will now deploy 10,000 Canadian troops to protect America's border, and Canada will also now have a "Fentanyl Czar."
Like Mexico, the tariffs will be postponed for a month.
This is maximum-level folding. WOW! pic.twitter.com/YlS8BQH6yg

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, facing the threat of a 25% tariff on Mexican imports, agreed to send 10,000 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to curb the flow of fentanyl and illegal migrants. Trump, satisfied with the swift response, announced a temporary pause on the tariffs for 30 days to monitor Mexico’s compliance.

Canada, initially defiant, was also forced to comply. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled a $1.3 billion border security plan, which includes an expanded force of nearly 10,000 personnel, new surveillance technology, and heightened coordination with U.S. agencies. Canada also agreed to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, designate cartels as terrorists, and launch joint intelligence operations with the United States.

Trump declared victory on Truth Social, stating that both nations had finally recognized the severity of the crisis. “Canada and Mexico have agreed to ensure we have strong border security and to stop the deadly fentanyl that has been flowing into the U.S. for far too long,” he wrote. He also made it clear that if either country failed to meet their commitments, tariffs would be reinstated immediately.
We win:

Mexico’s compliance has already led to major cartel crackdowns. Authorities arrested El Ricky, a high-ranking leader of the Cartel del Noreste. His capture, which was carried out by Mexican federal forces, triggered violent clashes in Nuevo Laredo, with cartel operatives blocking roads and engaging in shootouts.
Claudia Sheinbaum has bent the knee and agreed to secure her side of the border starting with 10,000 troops in hopes she can avoid Trump's tariffs. #ArtOfTheDeal pic.twitter.com/7aA8JLBc6k

As Mexico and Canada rush to implement these new security measures, Trump’s trade strategy has proven to be an effective tool for securing America’s borders. With the threat of tariffs still hanging over them, both countries have little choice but to follow through on their commitments.
I do love that Mexico and Canada were both giving the whole “we stand united!” schtick a go right up until Sheinbaum took the first available off-ramp and left Trudeau and Canada holding the bag pic.twitter.com/hkPxNAKIW8

Doug Ford and Justin Trudeau have just delivered the most embarrassing, self-inflicted humiliation in modern Canadian politics. They blustered, they grandstanded, and they postured like tough guys ready to “win” a fight with the United States, only to fold like cheap lawn chairs… pic.twitter.com/eY9pE0fbmb
