Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made an unannounced visit to Mar-a-Lago to meet with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump after Trump proposed a 25% tariff on Canadian goods. Accompanied by Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, Trudeau aimed to address border security concerns tied to the tariff threat.
Trump’s proposal, announced on Truth Social, called for Canada to secure its border with the U.S. Trudeau warned that such tariffs would hurt both Canadian workers and American businesses, adding, “He would be raising prices for American citizens.”
Trudeau emphasized the importance of dialogue, stating his plan to engage in “constructive, real conversations” with Trump. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland defended Trudeau’s ability to navigate relations with Trump, citing his past success in renegotiating NAFTA and maintaining working ties with the Trump administration despite tensions.
Trudeau’s visit underscores the urgency created by Trump’s announcement, which prompted swift responses from Canadian leaders to mitigate potential economic fallout.
