Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reportedly arrived in Palm Beach, Florida, for a meeting with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort, according to media outlets.
The incoming Trump administration confirmed the meeting to Newsmax, though Trudeau’s public itinerary did not include a visit to Florida.
The meeting comes amid rising tensions over President-elect Trump’s recent statements regarding trade and border security.
On Monday, Trump proposed a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, demanding tougher measures to address the flow of drugs, particularly fentanyl, and illegal border crossings.
Trump’s hardline stance has drawn sharp criticism from officials in Canada, Mexico, and China, as well as from major industry groups. Critics warn that such tariffs could disrupt economic relationships, spike inflation, and harm job markets across all countries involved.
As Trudeau meets with Trump, the discussion is likely to center on these pressing trade and border security issues, testing the future of U.S.-Canada relations under the new administration.
