Trudeau met with Trump amid trade threats.


Donald Trump's private resort in Florida received an unexpected guest - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The meeting took place in the context of heightened trade tensions between the two countries.
Earlier this week, Trump threatened to impose a 25 percent tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico due to issues with border control and drug abuse. This statement raised serious concerns within the Canadian government.
Officials from both sides initially refrained from commenting on the details of the meeting. It is known that Minister of Public Safety Dominic LeBlanc accompanied Trudeau on the trip.
Experts warn that the introduction of such high tariffs could cause significant damage to the economies of the involved countries, lead to a spike in inflation, and negatively impact the labor market.
Trudeau has already convened a meeting with the premiers of all ten provinces in Canada to discuss a strategy to combat American trade restrictions. Public opinion polls indicate a decline in the current Prime Minister's popularity due to economic difficulties.
The details of any potential agreements and the outcomes of the meeting remain unknown.
