Nov 29, 2024, 10:34 PM

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's plane, designated CFC01 and usually used by the Prime Minister, has been spotted heading toward Florida, sparking speculation of a meeting with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate in West Palm Beach. The government jet was flying southward on an unannounced trip, and the Prime Minister's Office has refused to comment. Trudeau's plane has since landed at Palm Beach International Airport, which is used by Trump when he travels to Mar-a-Lago. Reports indicate that Trudeau is expected to meet with President Trump tonight. This visit comes in the wake of Trump's recent tariff threats against Canada, and there are indications that Trudeau is considering imposing tariffs on certain American products in response.
