Speaking to reporters before the talks, the outgoing Canadian prime minister says the talks will focus on how Canada can withstand Trump’s tariffs against the country.
“There are conversations to have about how we will continue not only to stand strong in removing the US tariffs against Canadian products, but also how we’re going to work to deepen, improve our competitiveness between us here in Canada and with global partners,” Trudeau said in French.
He said the question is, given the “unpredictability” of the US, “how can we ensure some stability for our consumers, for our workers, for our businesses?”
