Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flew to Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday evening for an unannounced meeting with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate. The visit comes just days after Trump threatened to impose a sweeping 25% tariff on all goods imported from Canada and Mexico. Accompanied by Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, Trudeau aims to address concerns over escalating trade tensions between the two countries. The leaders are expected to have dinner and engage in discussions to resolve the potential tariff issues.
