Trudeau meets Trump in Florida as tariff threats escalate
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with President-elect Donald Trump in Florida after Trump threatened to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian products. This marks Trudeau's first visit to Trump since the election and highlights ongoing trade tensions. Trump's tariff threat is linked to concerns over drug and migrant flows across borders. Trudeau emphasized the need for constructive dialogue to address these issues, noting that tariffs would harm both Canadian and American economies. Canada is preparing for potential retaliatory tariffs if Trump follows through on his threats. The two countries have strong trade ties, with Canada being a major supplier of goods and energy to the U.S.
