Senator Risch welcomes Canada's $1.3 billion border security plan amid U.S. tariff threats.

U.S. Senator James Risch has welcomed Canada's $1.3 billion border security plan but called it tardy. The plan was announced after President Trump threatened to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, citing Canada’s failure to control border crossings and drug trafficking. Though tariffs have not been implemented, Trump suggested they could come into effect on February 1. Canadian officials argue that tariffs would harm both economies, while Risch urges Canada to improve its economic and defense standing.
