Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau traveled to Mar-a-Lago to meet with Donald Trump, according to BBC News.
The visit comes as Canada faces a potential 25% tariff on its goods, a threat Trump issued as a negotiating tool. Trudeau, joined by Canadian border security minister Dominic LeBlanc, emphasized the economic harm such tariffs could cause to both nations.
The meeting, which included members of Trump’s transition team, followed emergency talks in Canada to strategize a unified response.
Trudeau highlighted previous successes in U.S.-Canada trade negotiations during Trump’s first term and expressed hope for continued collaboration to avert economic fallout. The proposed tariffs also target Mexico, sparking similar concerns.
