Palm Beach, Florida (Agencies): Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has arrived in Florida to meet with US presidential election winner Donald Trump. Trudeau landed at Palm Beach International Airport on Friday evening for a private meeting with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence.
During the meeting, Trudeau is expected to discuss the possible imposition of tariffs on goods from Canada by a future US administration, as well as issues related to migration. The meeting will also include Canadian Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, Trump transition committee co-chair Howard Lutnick, and Trump’s nominee for US Secretary of the Interior, billionaire Doug Bergam.
Trump has repeatedly stated his intention to raise tariffs on products from China and other countries. Earlier this week, he promised to raise tariffs on goods from China by 10%. Additionally, Trump said he would sign an executive order to impose a 25% tariff on all goods from Mexico and Canada starting January 20, after his inauguration.
