Trudeau Trump Meeting: Trump says meeting with Trudeau was very productive: ‘I made it very clear that…’

Justin Trudeau dined with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago Friday.

President-elect Donald Trump said his meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was very productive where they discussed many issues including the drug crisis. On Truth Social, Trump said Prime Minister Trudeau has made a commitment to work with us to end this terrible devastation of US families. The statement came as Trudeau said he had an excellent conversation with Trump. Trudeau flew to Florida in an unexpected meeting with Trump after the President-elect announced there would be 25 per cent tariff on Canada and Mexico if the two countries failed to address the immigration and drug problem. Trudeau came to Mar-a-Lago and had dinner with Trump becoming the first G7 leader to meet Trump after his election victory

“I just had a very productive meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada, where we discussed many important topics that will require both Countries to work together to address, like the Fentanyl and Drug Crisis that has decimated so many lives as a result of Illegal Immigration, Fair Trade Deals that do not jeopardize American Workers, and the massive Trade Deficit the U.S. has with Canada. I made it very clear that the United States will no longer sit idly by as our Citizens become victims to the scourge of this Drug Epidemic, caused mainly by the Drug Cartels, and Fentanyl pouring in from China. Too much death and hardship! Prime Minister Trudeau has made a commitment to work with us to end this terrible devastation of U.S. Families. We also spoke about many other important topics like Energy, Trade, and the Arctic. All are vital issues that I will be addressing on my first days back in Office, and before,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
As Trudeau headed back to Canada from Florida, he said he had an excellent conversation with Trump but it was not clear whether Trudeau’s tax concerns were alleviated. A person familiar with the details of the leaders’ hastily arranged meeting Friday night said it was a positive wide-ranging dinner that lasted three hours. The official, who was not authorised to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said topics included trade, border security, fentanyl, defence, Ukraine, NATO, China, the Mideast and pipelines, as well as the Group of Seven (G7) meeting in Canada next year.
