Trump dismisses Canada's border efforts, accuses Trudeau of power grab

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 05 Mar, 2025 11:35 AM
  • Trump dismisses Canada's border efforts, accuses Trudeau of power grab

U.S. President Donald Trump says he is not appeased by Canada's efforts to reduce the amount of fentanyl crossing the border.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump also says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau could not tell him in a phone conversation today when Canada's election will happen — and falsely accused Trudeau of trying to use tariffs to stay in power.

Canada's next election is expected shortly after the Liberal party chooses its new leader this weekend, but the timing is largely up to the person who wins that contest.
