According to Reuters, US President Donald Trump and his Canadian rival Justin Trudeau spoke for about 50 hours over the phone about fentanyl and business.
Trump later revealed information of the phone on Truth Social, accusing Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau of using trade conflicts to retain political power. He ( Trudeau ) was unable to provide me with information about the Canadian election, which prompted me to inquire as to what was going on in this country. Finally I realized that he is attempting to use this to maintain his hold on power,” the US President wrote.
Trump raised questions about fentanyl contraband during the visit, stating that it had come into the country from Canada and Mexico.
He doubted whether the issue had been resolved. Nothing has persuaded me that methadone has stopped, he said, adding that the discussion ended in a” significantly” friendly fashion when I told him that “many people have died from fentanyl that came through the territories of Canada and Mexico.”
Trump even attributed the issue’s complexity to Trudeau’s border policies. For those interested, I also informed Canadian Governor Justin Trudeau that his poor border plans, which allowed a lot of fentanyl and illegal aliens into the country, contributed to the issues we have with them. These practices are to blame for the deaths of many persons”! he said.
In the midst of escalating trade conflicts, the call was made. Trump’s 25 % import taxes went into effect on Tuesday, with China and Canada threatening National products, according to CNN.
However, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed on Wednesday that Trump had granted Mexico and Canada a one-month deduction from engine taxes.
