Chicago – November 30, 2024
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau landed in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday evening for a dinner meeting with President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate, just days after Trump vowed to enact a 25% tariff on all products coming into the U.S. from Canada and Mexico.
Trudeau is the first of the leaders of the G7 group of industrial democracies to visit the president-elect.
Joining Trudeau and Trump were several proposed members of the next administration, including North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, the nominee for Interior secretary; Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick, the Commerce secretary nominee; and Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., who’s been named the next national security advisor, in addition to Sen.-elect David McCormick, R-Penn., and his wife Dina Powell, a former deputy national security advisor, according to published reports.
