Canada appoints fentanyl tsar in effort to stop Trump tariffs

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has appointed a new fentanyl tsar as his country seeks to address border concerns from US President Donald Trump that have prompted trade tariff threats.
 
Kevin Brosseau, a former member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and intelligence adviser to Trudeau, will begin the role immediately.
 
Trump's threat to impose import taxes of 25% on all goods from Canada was paused for 30 days this month, after he struck a deal with Trudeau that included new US-Canada border measures.
 
On Monday, Trump added another threat, saying he planned to add a 25% tax on global steel and aluminium imports to the US from  March 12.
