Trudeau meets Trump in Florida to discuss trade amid tariff threats

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with President-elect Donald Trump in Florida on Friday after Trump threatened to impose tariffs on Canadian goods. The dinner lasted three hours and covered various topics, including trade and border security. Trump's proposed tariffs could reach 25% on products from Canada and Mexico, raising concerns about the impact on trade. Trudeau emphasized the importance of dialogue to resolve these issues and noted that Canada is prepared for potential retaliatory tariffs. Trudeau's visit marks the first by a G7 leader since the U.S. election. Canada is a major trading partner for the U.S., with significant daily cross-border trade, and Trudeau aims to maintain strong relations despite the tariff threats.
