Canadian PM Dines With Trump "All out to persuade him to withdraw tariff bombs"

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on the 29th local time and met with President-elect Donald Trump.

It comes four days after Trump vowed to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican products.

According to AFP and other foreign media, Prime Minister Trudeau visited the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on the evening of the 29th for dinner with Trump, and some Canadian ministers also attended the meeting.Trudeau is the first leader of the

G7 (seven major countries) to meet face-to-face with Trump after the U.S. presidential election.

Trudeau's trip to the U.S. appears to be aimed at appeasing Trump, who foretold a "tariff bomb" on Canada.

Trump said on the 25th that crimes and drugs are pouring into the U.S. through Mexico and Canada, and that he will impose 25% tariffs on all products imported from the two countries until Mexico and Canada resolve them.

"Prime Minister Trudeau's visit to Mar-a-Lago appears to be a direct effort to show that he plans to address Trump's border concerns and that tariffs should be avoided for the two economies," the New York Times said.

The visit was accompanied by Canadian Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, who is responsible for border issues.

Canada is the largest trading partner of the United States, and more than three-quarters of Canada's exports last year, or 592.7 billion Canadian dollars, came from U.S. exports.

In addition, 2 million jobs depend on trade, which will inevitably hurt the economy if high tariffs become a reality.
