Trump and Trudeau meet in Florida amid trade tensions

newsweek.com

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. Trudeau arrived on Friday for dinner and is expected to stay overnight. This visit follows Trump's recent threats to impose tariffs on Canadian goods. Trump has warned of a 25 percent tariff unless Canada and Mexico address drug and migrant issues at their borders. Trudeau expressed confidence in resolving these concerns through dialogue, despite the lower illegal migration numbers at the Canadian border. Trudeau's in-person meeting contrasts with previous phone calls he and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum had with Trump. Canada is preparing potential retaliatory measures if tariffs are imposed, as trade between the two countries is significant.
