Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago to address concerns over proposed tariffs that could significantly harm the Canadian economy. Trudeau warned that the tariffs would also adversely affect American consumers. During the meeting, Trump jokingly suggested that Canada could become the 51st U.S. state if it fails to manage the economic implications of the tariffs. Both leaders described their discussions as productive, although Trudeau returned to Canada without any guarantees that the tariff plans would be abandoned. Following the meeting, Canada announced imminent new border restrictions and pledged to enhance border security.
