Trudeau meets Trump in Florida as tariff threats loom over Canada-US trade relations

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with President-elect Donald Trump in Florida on Friday. This meeting comes after Trump threatened to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian goods, citing concerns over drugs and migrants crossing borders. The dinner lasted three hours and covered various topics, including trade and border security. Trudeau emphasized the importance of constructive dialogue to address the tariff issue and noted that retaliatory tariffs from Canada are being considered if Trump follows through on his threats. Trudeau's visit marks the first by a G7 leader since the U.S. election. Despite past tensions, Trudeau expressed optimism about maintaining strong ties between Canada and the U.S.
