Trudeau meets Trump at Mar-a-Lago after tariff threat against Canada

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited Mar-a-Lago on Friday to meet with President-elect Donald Trump. This meeting follows Trump's recent threat of a 25 percent tariff on Canada, aimed at addressing illegal immigration and drug smuggling. Trudeau's visit comes after a phone call with Trump earlier in the week, which he described as positive. The Canadian leader expressed concerns that the proposed tariffs would harm both Canadian workers and American consumers. In contrast, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has taken a more confrontational stance, sending a letter to Trump criticizing his claims about border issues and threatening a "response in kind" to U.S. tariffs. All three countries are closely monitoring trade relations as they prepare for future negotiations under the USMCA.
