Foreign Leader Pays Surprise Visit to President-Elect Trump at Mar-a-Lago Amid Tariff Threats
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has flown to Florida to meet with President-elect Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club after Trump threatened to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian products.
A person familiar with the matter, according to the AP, said Trudeau will have dinner with Trump. The official was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity. . .
The visit comes days after Trump threatened to impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico over failures by both nations to curb the flow of illegal immigrants and illicit drugs from those countries into the U.S.
Trudeau said earlier Friday that he would resolve the tariff issue by talking to Trump.
“We’re going to work together to meet some of the concerns,” he told reporters in Canada’s Prince Edward Island. “But ultimately it is through lots of real constructive conversations with President Trump that I am going to have, that will keep us moving forward on the right track for all Canadians.” (Read more from “Foreign Leader Pays Surprise Visit to President-Elect Trump at Mar-a-Lago Amid Tariff Threats” HERE)
