Canada appointed a high -ranking intelligence officer on Tuesday for the new Zoar of the Fentanilo, saying that he would coordinate the fight against drug smuggling, thus fulfilling a promise made to the president of the United States, Donald Trump.
The Republican president threatened to impose tariffs on all imports from Canada unless the government does more to stop the flow of fentanyl through the border.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke twice last week with Trump, who agreed to pause punitive measures for a month in exchange for a series of concessions, one of which was the appointment of the new Tsar.
The position will be for Kevin Brosseau, a high -ranking plunder that was most recently attached national security and intelligence advisor to Trudeau.

“Canada needs a tsar of the fentanyl that coordinates the different organisms, act quickly to deal with problems and work closely with our American counterparts to interrupt and dismantle the illegal drug trafficking that crosses our border,” the Minister of Public Security, David McGuinty.
White House officials claim that Canada and Mexico are ducts for the sending of fentanil and its chemical precursors to the United States in small packages that do not usually inspect.
Public data show that 0.2% of all the fentanyl seized in the United States comes from the Canadian border, while the vast majority originates in the southern border.
