Trudeau meets Trump in Florida as tariff threat looms over Canada
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. This meeting comes after Trump threatened a 25% tariff on Canadian imports over border issues, particularly related to drugs and migration. Trudeau's visit was not publicly scheduled, and he was seen leaving a hotel in West Palm Beach. The tariff threat has raised concerns among officials in Canada, Mexico, and China about potential economic harm and inflation. In response, Trudeau has called a meeting with the premiers of all Canadian provinces to discuss U.S. relations. The proposed tariffs would also apply to crude oil, which is a significant part of Canada's economy.
