Canadian leaders expressed relief that broad tariffs were not applied to Canadian products on the first day of Donald Trump’s presidency.

Canada’s outgoing prime minister and the leader of the country’s oil rich province of Alberta are confident Canada can avoid the 25% tariffs President Donald Trump says he will impose on Canada and Mexico on Feb.

Speaking on Monday, the Minister of Public Safety David McGuinty spoke about the situation at the Canada-U.S. border and said the federal government is “prepared to deal with any potential surge,” adding that it is “illegal” and “dangerous” to cross the border in between ports of entry.

During a news conference in Ottawa discussing the U.S.-Canada border, Public Safety Minister David McGuinty says the federal government is interested in showing the incoming U.S. administration that Canada is serious about the border relationship.

Earlier in the day, cabinet ministers were careful not to declare victory after Trump was sworn into office without mentioning Canada at all, and with no sign of the punishing tariffs he's been threatening since the November election.

The Liberal government pledged $1.3 billion in border upgrades after U.S. president-elect Donald Trump threatened steep tariffs unless Canada and Mexico clamp down on the flow of migrants and illegal drugs.
