stop illegal border crossing That's a major problem with our southern border, not Canada. shut down drugs coming across the border Again, Mexican cartels, not Canadian.. In regards to fentanyl, it's common knowledge that even a tiny amount can kill you. Those who continue to OD on the stuff, in spite of knowing the danger, should be buried along with a "Darwin Awards Winner" pin. I messed around with drugs in my wild and wooly youth, but was never stupid about it..

zerohedge.com Let's review. In the past thirteen days; Border crossings are down 94% after Trump declared a national emergency and sent US troops to the southern US Border Special Envoy Ric Grenell flew down to oil-rich Venezuela, got 6 hostages freed (that Biden didn't even care to check up on), and convinced Maduro to accept tens of thousands of migrants we're about to deport. Trump halted almost all foreign aid for 90 days, including to Ukraine, while each program undergoes review to make sure they align with the new agenda. Elon Musk's DOGE descended upon the US Treasury and revealed that we've been 'auto paying' all sorts of bad actors, including terrorist groups. DOGE then kicked the door down at Deep State slush fund USAID, where employees were placed on paid leave last week for trying to circumvent Trump's orders, causing a massive Democrat freakout. Trump just slapped tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico for failing to control the flow of illegal immigration and fentanyl. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sent a worldwide cable announcing the end of DEI policies within State, prioritizing American interests, and told his Chinese counterpart that America is done kowtowing. See below for more! And now, Rubio has convinced Panama not to renew its deal with China's Belt and Road economic program, after applying pressure to the Panamanian government to immediately take steps to address US concerns over Chinese businesses operating ports near the canal - which President Trump says represents a threat to US national security. "Trump has made a preliminary determination that the current position of influence and control of the Chinese Communist Party over the Panama Canal area is a threat to the canal," said US State Department spox Tammy Bruce. Trump had also refused to rule out the use of military force over Panama, while US officials said in a senate hearing last week that fines and restrictions on Panamanian-flag vessels entering US ports could be imposed due to the dispute over the canal.

According to the PanAm Post, Panama will not renew the memorandum of understanding on the "Silk Road" signed with China. "We are going to study the possibility of whether it can be finished earlier or not. I think it is due for renewal in one or two years," said Molino
