In a swift turn of events, Canada has decided to take border security seriously – and who could be credited with this transformation? None other than President Donald Trump. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in a moment reminiscent of a child taking their medicine after a stern lecture, announced new measures to enforce border security and combat the overwhelming tide of illegal drugs, particularly fentanyl. It’s almost like Trump’s phone call magically convinced Trudeau to finally uphold his duties as a leader, proving once again that a little pressure goes a long way.
Trudeau’s grand plan, which will cost $1.3 billion, includes deploying helicopters, modern technology, and a small army of nearly 10,000 frontline personnel to keep a watchful eye on the border. Not to be outdone by his southern neighbor, Canada is also jumping on the “Fentanyl Czar” bandwagon, complete with anti-cartel measures that would make any reality show star proud. They’re even setting up a “Joint Strike Force” – which sounds as intimidating as it is bureaucratic – to tackle organized crime and the fentanyl crisis head-on. With the promise to pause proposed tariffs for at least 30 days, it’s almost as if Canada is rolling out the red carpet for cooperation with the U.S.

But that wasn’t the only news hitting the conservative airwaves. In a delightful twist, Mexico also succumbed to Trump’s influence, with President Claudia Sheinbaum announcing she had a “good conversation” with Trump. It seems the mere mention of Trump was enough to send shivers down the spine of her administration, pushing Mexico to strengthen their northern border against drug trafficking. Meanwhile, a commitment to reinstate the “Wait in Mexico” policy is good news for anyone who believes in enforcing laws rather than dodging them. It’s clear—under Trump, even Mexico has realized that chaos at the border is a bad look.
And if that wasn’t enough winning for one day, news broke regarding Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen expressing a softening stance on expanding U.S. military presence in Greenland. While some may have chuckled at Trump’s infamous desire to purchase the ice-capped territory, it appears he’s been unearthing a serious strategic interest worth considering. When even Denmark is pondering the benefits of aligning with U.S. defense goals, one has to wonder if Trump should start taking requests for foreign policy advice from karaoke bars.
This rapid-fire series of international agreements and newfound cooperation showcases what leadership looks like—decisive, unapologetic, and unmistakably effective. It’s a clear message that when the world’s leaders are left to their own devices, chaos often reigns. But with Trump back in action, accountability and respect appear to be making a comeback in global politics, if only out of fear of his significant influence. It’s safe to say that after just a handful of weeks back in office, Trump is racking up wins like they’re going out of style. Buckle up—this is just the beginning of a new era of “Make Borders Great Again.”
