Trudeau meets Trump to discuss tariff threats on Canadian imports

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago to address rising tensions. This follows Trump's threat to impose a 25% tariff on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China, citing drug trafficking and immigration concerns. The proposed tariffs have alarmed officials and industry groups in Canada, Mexico, and China, who warn of potential economic harm, inflation, and job losses. Trudeau's government is already facing challenges due to a slowing economy and rising living costs. Trudeau plans to unite Canadian provinces against the tariff threat and has called a meeting with provincial leaders. The tariffs would also apply to crude oil, which is a significant part of Canada's economy, as most of its oil exports go to the U.S.
