Trudeau meets premiers to strategize on Trump's tariff threats against Canada
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will meet with Canadian premiers to discuss strategies in response to president-elect Donald Trump's threats of tariffs on Canadian goods. This meeting comes as Trump prepares to take office and potentially disrupt trade relations. Trudeau aims to present a united front against U.S. tariffs, while some premiers, like Alberta's Danielle Smith, question his ability to negotiate effectively with Trump. They are urging Trudeau to address U.S. concerns about border issues and illegal migration. Premiers are advocating for a "Team Canada" approach to engage U.S. officials and emphasize the economic impact of tariffs on both countries. They stress the need for a collaborative effort to resolve border issues without resorting to punitive measures.
