According to Donald Trump, Canada could be a threat to the United States because, for example, of arms and drug trafficking at the border. Michel Juneau-Katsuya, former executive and senior intelligence agent of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, deconstructs the new president’s comments.
-He spoke particularly about drug trafficking in his speech, and once again we can see that it is a speech aimed at his electoral base because when we look at the statistics, from October 2023 to September 2024, it is 275,000 pounds of drugs that were intercepted at the Mexican-American border, at the same time period drugs going from Canada to the United States, 11,600 pounds of drugs that were intercepted. […] Canada is not that big of a threat
explains Michel Juneau-Katsuy.
« There is good news from the United States and from Mr. Trump, because by forcing the Canadian government’s hand to improve border security, we protect ourselves much better and much more from the United States. »
