Canada’s Trudeau Arrives in Florida for Meeting With Trump
SUMMARY
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to meet with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Friday, according to sources familiar with the plans. The meeting comes as Trump threatens to introduce new tariffs on neighboring countries unless they take measures to curb the flow of illegal drugs and aliens across borders. Trudeau arrived in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday evening ahead of the meeting with Trump. The sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, provided details about the planned discussions. Earlier this week, Trump announced his intention to impose additional tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, describing the tariffs as crucial for securing U.S. borders. He proposed a 10% tariff on Chinese imports and a 25% tariff on all goods from Mexico and Canada if they fail to address U.S. concerns. Border security was a central issue for voters in the November presidential election.
