Justin Trudeau had an “excellent conversation” with Donald Trump at the president-elect’s Florida estate, Canada’s prime minister said Saturday, as the United States’ neighbors scramble to blunt the impact of Trump’s trade threats. Trudeau flew for a dinner at Mar-a-Lago on Friday, after Trump earlier this week announced plans for import tariffs against Canada and Mexico and rival China.
“It was an excellent conversation,” Trudeau told reporters Saturday morning as he was leaving a hotel in West Palm Beach to catch a flight back to Canada. Trudeau was the latest high-profile guest of Trump, whose impending second term -- which starts in January -- is already overshadowing the last few months of President Joe Biden’s administration.
A photograph released by Pennsylvania Senator-elect David McCormick showed Trump and Trudeau side-byside at table, surrounded by a dozen guests including Howard Lutnick, Donald Trump’s pick for commerce secretary, and Mike Waltz, his choice for national security advisor.
