U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Calls Out 'Fracturing' Relationship with Canada
Mullin said more intelligence sharing and closer cooperation are needed as law enforcement sees more fentanyl trafficking from Canada, he said.
- On Wednesday, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree met in Washington, with Mullin stating the "fracturing" relationship between the United States and Canada needs restoration to ensure security.
- Mullin attributed increased fentanyl trafficking from Canada to U.S. pressure on Mexican cartels, which pushes criminal activity north; President Donald Trump imposed tariffs last year citing similar border security concerns.
- Intelligence sharing challenges persist, Mullin admitted, noting that U.S. agencies can "get a little bull-headed" and that waiting five days to act on information allows targets to escape.
- Citing the capture of accused drug trafficker Ryan Wedding, Anandasangaree highlighted Canada's security plan over the past 18 months, demonstrating successful cross-border cooperation despite current tensions.
- Emphasizing that "we're not going anywhere," Mullin pledged to rebuild partnerships with Canada; he and Anandasangaree remain focused on "working through small things" to combat criminal enterprises together.
