Canada, which received a 25% tariff bomb threat from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, is struggling to come up with measures to strengthen its border.
The U.S. daily New York Times reported on the 11th local time that Canada is considering various measures to meet Trump's demand for increased border security.
Earlier on the 25th, Trump warned that drugs and criminals would flow into the U.S. through the Canadian-Mexico border and would impose 25% tariffs if the problem was not resolved.
As a result, Canada is considering putting drones and guard dog units in border areas and restricting border crossings by land.
In addition, the New York Times said it is considering providing additional personal information to U.S. authorities, including criminal records of Canadians crossing the border.
Canada also plans to increase its budget to block the smuggling of fentanyl, which has become a serious social problem in the United States.
The Canadian government will finalize and announce measures to strengthen the border before January 20 next year when Trump takes office.
Canada's exports to the U.S. last year amounted to C$592.7 billion, or about 600 trillion won in Korean money.
