Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. This meeting comes after Trump threatened to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian imports over border issues, particularly related to drugs and migration. Trudeau's visit was not publicly scheduled, and both his office and Trump's representatives did not comment on the meeting. The proposed tariffs have raised concerns among officials in Canada, Mexico, and China about potential economic harm and job losses. In response to the tariff threat, Trudeau has called a meeting with the premiers of all Canadian provinces to discuss U.S. relations. The tariffs would also apply to crude oil, which is a significant part of Canada's economy.
