Trudeau returns from Trump meeting without tariff guarantees as trade tensions persist

buffalonews.com

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, aimed at addressing illegal immigration and drug trafficking. Trudeau's visit marked the first by a G7 leader since the election. The discussions included topics like trade, immigration, and border security, but no concrete agreements were reached regarding tariffs or trade relations.
