WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump has justified tariffs on Canadian imports in part as a way to force Canada to crack down on smuggling and tighten security at the vast border. The neighbor to the north, he said, must “stop this invasion of our country” with “drugs and illegal aliens.”

Trump has said repeatedly he wants Canada to become the 51st state. It's a statement sometimes laughed off in the U.S., but viewed as deadly serious in Canada.

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said he takes full responsibility for his administration's "war on drugs", in a video message posted on his Facebook account, as he braces for a legal battle at the International Criminal Court.
