Trudeau congratulates Trump on U.S. presidential election victory

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau congratulated Donald Trump on his victory in the U.S. presidential election early Wednesday. Trudeau emphasized the strong friendship between Canada and the U.S. and expressed readiness to collaborate on mutual interests. This marks Trump's return to the presidency after a tumultuous four years, during which he faced significant challenges, including a violent insurrection and felony convictions. Trudeau had previously stated that Canada was prepared to work with any elected U.S. leader. Trudeau's message reflects a shift in the political landscape, as he now looks to engage with a Trump administration, contrasting with the previous Democratic leadership under Joe Biden.
