As more migrants enter the U.S. from Canada, President-elect Donald Trump is pressuring Canada to tighten border security, threatening a 25% tariff if it fails to act, The Times Union reports.

The threat of tariffs has put pressure on Canada to clamp down on illegal crossings into the U.S., even as some Canadian officials anticipate a surge in migrants heading the other direction once President-elect Donald J. Trump takes office. ALBANY — For most of the 20th century, the world’s longest international border was practically undefended.
