Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau traveled to Florida on Friday to meet with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, according to multiple sources. The meeting follows Trump’s recent threat to impose 25% tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico unless both countries take action to stop what he describes as a flow of drugs and illegal immigrants into the United States.

Earlier this week, Trudeau described a phone call with Trump after the tariff threat as a “good call” and expressed optimism about future discussions. “I look forward to lots of great conversations with President-elect Trump,” Trudeau told reporters.

Trudeau has pointed to the successful negotiation of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) in 2020 as evidence that the two leaders can collaborate on trade issues. The agreement, which provides for mostly duty-free trade among the three countries, could be jeopardized by Trump’s proposed tariffs.

While the terms of USMCA allow for renegotiation in 2026, some experts believe Trump’s tariff threats might be aimed at accelerating that timeline. However, analysts told ABC News that Trump’s approach may not be as effective during a second term. “If you’re on the football field and call the same play twice, it’s not going to be as effective the second time,” one expert noted.

If enacted, the tariffs could significantly increase the cost of goods in the U.S., complicating Trump’s campaign promise to lower inflation. Despite this, Trump has indicated his willingness to use aggressive trade measures to achieve his goals.

Trudeau’s visit underscores the high stakes surrounding trade relations between the U.S. and Canada, as both leaders navigate tensions that could have far-reaching economic consequences.
