Justin Trudeau Speaks Out After Meeting Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday that he had an “excellent conversation” with President-elect Donald Trump last night at his Palm Beach, Florida, club Mar-a-Lago, according to the Associated Press.

On Friday night, Trudeau arrived at Trump’s Florida residence for a dinner. He left early on Saturday. It was the first time the two leaders had met since Trump won the 2024 presidential election earlier this month, and Trudeau is the first leader from the Group of Seven (G7) nations to visit with Trump post-election.

Newsweek has reached out to the Canadian prime minister’s office and Trump’s press team for comment via email on Saturday.

In a Saturday afternoon post on Truth Social, the president-elect’s social media platform, Trump called the meeting with Trudeau “productive.” He added that they “discussed many important topics that will require both Countries to work together to address, like the Fentanyl and Drug Crisis that has decimated so many lives as a result of Illegal Immigration, Fair Trade Deals that do not jeopardize American Workers, and the massive Trade Deficit the U.S. has with Canada.”

The president-elect also noted they “also spoke about many other important topics like Energy, Trade, and the Arctic.”

Trudeau’s visit comes as Trump has threatened to impose a 25 percent tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico unless the countries curb what he described as the flow of drugs and migrants across their borders. Trump made the remarks on Monday, warning that imposing such tariffs would be among his first executive orders when he takes office in January 2025.

Trump wrote in a Monday Truth Social post, “I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders. This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country! Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem.”

Trudeau and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum separately called Trump earlier this week following his announcement. They described the conversations as friendly and constructive. Sheinbaum said Thursday she remains optimistic that a tariff war with the United States can be avoided.

Ahead of his visit, Trudeau expressed confidence in resolving the issue through dialogue with Trump. Speaking to reporters in Prince Edward Island earlier on Friday, he said, “We’re going to work together to address some of these concerns. But ultimately, it’s through constructive conversations with President Trump that we’ll stay on the right track for all Canadians.”

Trump and Trudeau have clashed over tariffs before. In 2018, Canada imposed billions of dollars in duties on American goods in response to U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. Trudeau has held Canada’s top office since November 2015.

Canada is the leading export destination for 36 U.S. states, with nearly $2.7 billion in goods and services crossing the border daily. It is also the largest foreign supplier of steel, aluminum, and uranium to the U.S.

Late Friday night, Senator-elect Dave McCormick, a Pennsylvania Republican, posted a photo on X, formerly Twitter, showing his dinner table at Mar-a-Lago, with Trudeau and Trump sitting side-by-side.

Others seated at the table are McCormick’s wife, Dina Powell, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, who has been tapped to lead the Department of the Interior, Kathryn Burgum, Howard Lutnick, who has been tapped to be Trump’s commerce secretary, Allison Lutnick, Julia Waltz, and Representative Mike Waltz, Trump’s nominee for national security adviser.

Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancé, shared the photo on her Instagram page.

The photo has raised some attention on social media, as in the background a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 is seen sitting at another table behind Trudeau and Trump, making a face at the camera.

Tesla Is No Longer Elon Musk’s Most Valuable Asset

**Breaking News: Tesla Falls Behind as Musk’s SpaceX Surges Ahead** In a stunning turn of events, Tesla is no longer the crown jewel of Elon Musk’s empire, as SpaceX has officially surpassed the electric vehicle giant in value for the first time in five years. Musk’s fortune, once heavily anchored by Tesla, has shifted dramatically following a series of alarming developments. Musk’s financial landscape took a hit after he funneled over $200 million into Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, but he rebounded quickly, briefly becoming the world’s first $400 billion individual. However, Tesla’s stock has since plummeted by 50%, exacerbated by disappointing delivery numbers and concerns over Musk’s divided attention as he juggles his new role in the Trump administration. Recent reports indicate that Tesla’s revenue growth has stagnated to a mere 1% in 2024, while net income has declined for the second consecutive year. Meanwhile, shocking drops in vehicle sales have been documented across key markets, including Germany, China, and Australia. As public sentiment turns against Musk, protests have erupted at Tesla dealerships nationwide, amplifying the urgency of the situation.

With SpaceX’s value now estimated at $147 billion—almost $20 billion more than Musk’s Tesla holdings—this shift marks a seismic change in Musk’s financial narrative. SpaceX’s revenue surged by 51% to $13.1 billion in 2024, buoyed by the booming Starlink satellite internet service. As the dust settles, it’s clear that Musk’s fortunes are in flux, and the landscape of his empire is shifting dramatically. Stay tuned as we continue to monitor these developments closely.
