Quebec will closely monitor the potential impacts a new Donald Trump presidency will have on immigration and tariffs on exports, the province's premier said Wednesday.
WATCH: Donald Trump will be the winner of the U.S. presidential election, according to the Associated Press, meaning he will return for a second non-consecutive term in the White House as 47th president.It will be Trump’s second, non-consecutive term at the helm of American leadership and, as a result, Legault says he will implement a “working group” composed of several cabinet ministers to defend Quebec’s interests.
But Legault was quick to lay out his concerns about Trump’s victory, warning of a possible inpouring of asylum seekers at the border and steeper tariffs on exports from Quebec.When it comes to immigration, Legault says the province has “done its part” and simply cannot take on more new arrivals. Trump has promised to deport millions of undocumented immigrants from the United States as one of his top priorities.
“First what I want to do is make sure that Mr. Trudeau and the federal government takes this seriously. I want a follow-up every week about the number of immigrants we get in Quebec,” Legault said.Donald Trump waves as he walks with former first lady Melania Trump at an election night watch party at the Palm Beach Convention Center, Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2024, in West Palm Beach, Fla.Canada prepares for U.S. election.
