dw.com

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with US President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida to discuss trade. This meeting follows Trump's announcement of a potential 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico. The proposed tariffs are aimed at addressing drug trafficking and illegal immigration. Canada's economy is closely linked to the US, with over 75% of its exports going there, raising concerns about the impact of such tariffs. Trudeau's government is already facing economic challenges, including a slowing economy and rising living costs. He has called a meeting with provincial leaders to address the tariff threat and maintain a united front.
