Positive tones from Trump and Trudeau's meeting
Donald Trump and Justin Trudeau had a "very productive meeting" at Mar-a-Lago, Trump writes on Truth Social.
The Canadian prime minister visited Trump to try to dissuade him from the 25 percent trade tariffs he has threatened Canada with, which would be a major blow to the Canadian economy.
No customs notice came after the meeting. According to Trump, a range of topics were discussed, such as the fentanyl crisis, energy, the Arctic and "the massive US trade deficit with Canada".
Trudeau himself calls the talks "excellent".

Next dinner guest on site at Mar-a-Lago: Justin Trudeau
