Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has secretly traveled to Florida to meet President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. This visit follows Trump's recent threats of a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico. Trudeau's trip comes after a phone call between Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, where both leaders expressed positive outcomes. Trudeau's office has not confirmed the visit, and it was not included in his public itinerary. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland stated that Canada is taking Trump's tariff threats seriously. Trudeau emphasized that such tariffs would negatively impact both Canadians and American consumers.
