Trump and Trudeau meet to discuss trade and border issues after tariff pledge

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump met with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Florida to discuss border issues, trade, and energy. This meeting follows Trump's recent pledge to impose steep tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports after taking office. Trump's tariff plan has raised concerns about a potential trade war. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum warned of serious consequences and hinted at possible retaliation against Trump's proposed 25% tariffs. During the meeting, Trump emphasized the need for cooperation on issues like drug trafficking and trade deficits. He also called on BRICS countries to avoid creating a new currency, threatening them with 100% tariffs if they do.
