Canadian ministers head to Florida for talks with incoming Trump administration: report
SUMMARY
Two Canadian ministers, Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly, traveled to Palm Beach, Florida, for key talks with representatives of President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration. The discussions reflect Trump’s focus on strengthening U.S.-Canada trade and ensuring energy and border security. Trump's leadership aims to address critical issues such as fentanyl trafficking, illegal migration, and fair trade practices. The ministers are engaging with Tom Homan, Trump’s incoming "border czar," to align Canada’s border strategy with U.S. priorities and to avoid tariffs that Trump has proposed to protect American interests. Trump’s commitment to reshaping the U.S.-Canada trade relationship comes as he underscores the importance of economic security and reducing reliance on foreign nations.
