Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to meet with President-elect Donald Trump in an effort to address concerns about border security and potential tariffs on Canadian goods. Trump has threatened to impose additional tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China if they do not take action to halt illegal drug trafficking and undocumented migration. Trudeau, who arrived in Florida ahead of the meeting, has been under pressure at home to address these concerns and demonstrate Canada’s commitment to working with the US on border security and defense. The meeting between Trudeau and Trump will be the first face-to-face meeting between a G7 leader and the President-elect since the US election. The stakes are high, as Canada is one of the largest trading partners with the US, with an economic relationship worth over $900 billion a year. Economists warn that broad tariffs could have negative impacts on both countries’ economies and disrupt trade flows. The meeting will be crucial in determining the future of the trade relationship between the two countries and addressing key security concerns.
