Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump this morning regarding the ongoing trade war, which poses a significant threat to workers and businesses on both sides of the border. Another meeting between the two leaders is expected later in the evening.
While neither the Prime Minister’s Office nor the White House disclosed details of their discussion, Trump claimed on social media that American banks are not allowed to operate freely in Canada. He also linked the trade conflict to the issue of drug trafficking.
Trump alleged that millions of Americans have died due to drugs entering the U.S. through the Mexican and Canadian borders. Despite disagreements on these issues, he confirmed plans to continue discussions with Trudeau in the evening.
