Trudeau returns from Trump meeting without tariff guarantees as tensions rise over trade

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau returned from a meeting with President-elect Donald Trump without guarantees that tariffs on Canadian goods will be lifted. Trump described the talks as productive but maintained his stance on tariffs related to drug and immigration issues. Trump also threatened 100% tariffs on the BRICS alliance if they undermine the U.S. dollar. This follows previous threats of 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, and 10% on Chinese goods, aimed at addressing illegal immigration and drug trafficking. During the meeting, Trudeau and Trump discussed various topics, including trade and border security. Trudeau expressed optimism about future cooperation, while Trump emphasized the need for Canada to help combat the flow of fentanyl and illegal immigration.
