Trudeau discusses border security and tariffs in meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago for a dinner discussion on Friday. They addressed issues like tariffs, border security, and drug trafficking. Trudeau indicated plans to enhance border security, including purchasing helicopters for patrols. The meeting followed Trump's announcement of potential 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico. Trudeau's government has been exploring ways to respond to these tariffs, with provincial leaders advocating for increased police funding and border measures. Trudeau described the conversation as "excellent," while Trump called it "very productive." This meeting marks a shift in their relationship, as Trudeau was the first G7 leader to meet Trump since the election.
