Trudeau and Trump Clash Over Tariff Threats and Economic Impact

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with U.S. President Donald Trump to discuss the potential negative impacts of proposed 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports. Trudeau emphasized the differences between the U.S.-Canada and U.S.-Mexico borders, arguing that such tariffs would harm both economies. Despite productive talks, no assurances were given by Trump to withdraw the tariff threat, which could lead to increased prices in the U.S. and potential retaliatory measures from Canada.
