Trudeau meets Trump in Florida to discuss tariff threats
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is meeting with U.S. president-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. This is their first in-person meeting following Trump's recent threats to impose tariffs on Canadian imports. Trudeau's government is preparing to address Trump's tariff threats, emphasizing the interconnectedness of the U.S. and Canadian economies. Trudeau has previously activated a "Team Canada" approach to strengthen ties with U.S. officials. The current political landscape differs from Trudeau's earlier efforts, as his government faces declining public support and less political capital. Some provincial leaders have criticized Ottawa's response to Trump's concerns, highlighting challenges in building a united front.
