hindustantimes.com

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau arrived in Florida to meet President-elect Donald Trump amid threats of new tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Trump has linked these tariffs to the flow of illegal drugs and migrants across borders. Trudeau's visit follows Trump's vow to impose 10% tariffs on China and 25% on Canada and Mexico if they do not address border security. This marks Trudeau's first face-to-face meeting with Trump since the election. Canadian officials emphasize their cooperation with the U.S. on drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl. Trudeau faces pressure at home to enhance border security and defense spending to address U.S. concerns.
