Trudeau meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago after threat to impose tariffs on Canadian goods

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort Friday after the president-elect threatened to impose tariffs on Canadian products.

Trump has floated imposing a 25% tariff on all goods coming into the United States from Canada and Mexico if the flow of drugs and immigrants across the northern and southern borders does not end. The tariffs would be among one of his first executive orders.

Trudeau is having dinner with Trump during his visit, a person familiar with the matter told the Associated Press. Earlier Friday, Trudeau told reporters on Prince Edward Island in Atlantic Canada that he planned to talk to Trump to resolve the matter.

“We’re going to work together to meet some of the concerns,” Trudeau said. “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.”
