U.S. Homeland Security secretary calls out ‘fracturing’ relationship with Canada

WASHINGTON — U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin says the “fracturing” relationship between Canada and the United States needs to be restored to ensure security in both countries.

Mullin made the comments during a fireside chat with Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree in Washington today.

Mullin, who was confirmed to his position in March, says arguments between the two countries only expose vulnerabilities to criminal enterprises.

The relationship between Canada and the U.S. was upended by President Donald Trump’s tariffs and threats of annexation.
