The U.S. crackdown on drug trafficking on the border with Mexico has triggered an increase in criminal activity coming across the border from Canada, according to Markwayne Mullin, the U.S. secretary of homeland security.
Speaking to an audience in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday alongside Canada’s Minister of Public Safety Gary Anandasangaree, Mullin said law enforcement officials are seeing an increase in fentanyl trafficking from Canada, something he attributed to U.S. efforts against Mexican cartels at the southern border.
