Trudeau meets Trump in Florida as tariff threats loom over Canada

nbcnews.com

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with Donald Trump in Florida following Trump's recent threat to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian goods. The meeting took place at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, where they were seen dining together. Trudeau's visit was not part of his public schedule. Earlier this week, he and Trump had a phone conversation about the tariff proposal, which Trump stated would remain until issues like drug trafficking and illegal immigration are addressed. Trump's tariff plan has drawn criticism from President Joe Biden, who called it "counterproductive." Canada relies heavily on the U.S. for trade, sending about 75% of its exports there, which include vehicles and dairy products.
