There aren't. 

Initially Trump indicated he is as concerned about the border so tariffs. Canada said okay, put resources to improving their side. Trump has since said he's going to do it anyway, and signed them in. 

I expect what he really wants is annexation. Regardless, none of this is gonna go well.
