WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — said Saturday he had an “excellent conversation” with at his Mar-a-Lago club after the president-elect’s threat on two of America’s leading trade partners raised alarms in and . It was unclear, as Trudeau headed back to Canada from Florida, whether the conversation had alleviated Trump’s concerns. A person familiar with the details of the leaders’ hastily arranged meeting Friday night said it was a “positive wide-ranging dinner that lasted three hours.” The official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said topics included trade, border security, fentanyl, defense, Ukraine, NATO, China, the Mideast and pipelines, as well as the the Group of Seven meeting in Canada next year. The Republican president-elect has threatened to impose tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico if the countries don’t stop what he called the flow of drugs and migrants across their borders. He said he would impose a 25% tax on all products from Canada and as one of his first executive orders when he takes office in January. As he was leaving his West Palm Beach hotel, Trudeau stopped briefly to answer a reporter’s question about the dinner meeting, saying it was “an excellent conversation.” Trump’s transition team did not respond to questions about what the leaders had discussed. Trump, during his first term as president, once called Trudeau but it was the prime minister who was the first G7 leader to visit Trump since the Nov. 5 election. “Tariffs are a crucial issue for Canada and a bold move was in order. Perhaps it was a risk, but a risk worth taking,” Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal. Among those at the dinner were Howard Lutnick, Trump’s pick for commerce secretary; North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, in line to lead the Interior Department; and Mike Waltz, Trump’s choice to be his national security adviser. Accompanying Trudeau were Canada’s public safety minister, Dominic LeBlanc, whose responsibilities include border security, and Katie Telford, Trudeau’s chief of staff. Trudeau had said earlier Friday that he would resolve the tariffs issue by talking to Trump. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said a day earlier after speaking with Trump that she is confident will be averted. Trudeau said Trump got elected because he promised to bring down the cost of groceries but now he’s talking about adding 25% to the cost of all kinds of products including potatoes from Prince Edward Island in Atlantic Canada. “It is important to understand that Donald Trump, when he makes statements like that, he plans on carrying them out. There’s no question about it,” Trudeau said before his leaving for Florida. “Our responsibility is to point out that he would not just be harming Canadians, who work so well with the United States, but he would actually be raising prices for Americans citizens as well and hurting American industry and business,” he added. To Nelson Wiseman, professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, Trump “doesn’t need convincing that new tariffs on Canadian products would not be in U.S. interests. He knows that, but cannot say it because it would detract from what he has said publicly. His goal is to project the image that he gets action when he talks.” Those tariffs could essentially blow up the North American trade pact that Trump’s team negotiated during his first term. Trudeau noted they were able to successfully renegotiate the deal, which he calls a “win win” for both countries. Trump made the tariff threat Monday while citing an influx of migrants entering the country illegally, even though the numbers at the Canadian border pale in comparison to those at the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump also spoke about fentanyl from Mexico and Canada, even though seizures from the Canadian border are few in comparison to the Mexican border. Canadian officials say lumping Canada in with Mexico is unfair but say they are ready to make new investments in border security. When Trump imposed higher tariffs during his first term in office, other countries responded with retaliatory tariffs of their own. Canada, for instance, announced against the U.S. in a response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminum. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US $2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day. ___ Gillies reported from Toronto. Rob Gillies And Fatima Hussein, The Associated Press
Amber Heard has broken her silence on the sexual harassment lawsuit Blake Lively filed against her It Ends with Us co-star , Justin Baldoni. The pair were cast as leads in the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's best-selling novel by the same name. Despite their initial mutual admiration in interviews, rumors of a fallout surfaced around the film's release. Both Blake, 37, and Justin, 40, declined to promote the film together, opting for separate red carpet photos and interviews. Blake has since shocked Hollywood by filing a sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin , alleging inappropriate behavior towards her and other cast and crew members. Justin is reportedly employing PR manager Melissa Nathan, who represented Johnny Depp during his defamation trial with Amber, which resulted in Depp being awarded $10million in compensatory damages and an additional $5million in punitive damages. Blake Lively's sister breaks silence after actress files a sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni Blake Lively was 'alarmed' that Justin Baldoni cast 'best friend' for intimate scene in It Ends With Us, says lawsuit The pregnant actress, currently residing in Spain, shared her perspective with NBC News, noting: "Social media is the absolute personification of the classic saying 'A lie travels halfway around the world before truth can get its boots on.' I saw this firsthand and up close. It's as horrifying as it is destructive." In the lawsuit, Blake claims he allowed his "friends" to watch her film certain sex scenes and added unapproved sexual scenes to the film. Justin, a married father of two, has refuted these allegations, labeling the lawsuit a "desperate attempt to 'fix' her negative reputation" following backlash over Blake's own conduct. The actress previously accused the film's director of sexual harassment, creating a hostile work environment, and attempting to smear her reputation through a targeted social media campaign in an undated complaint submitted to the California Civil Rights Department. Blake had been embroiled in controversy over the promotion of her movie, receiving criticism from fans who deemed her "tone deaf" for overlooking the film's deeper themes of domestic abuse. In a widely shared social media post, she encouraged her followers: "Grab your friends, wear your florals, and head out to see it" a statement that some argued trivialized the film's serious content. Amidst the fallout, there were concerns for Blake's future in the industry. An insider confided to Daily Mail in August: "Blake is definitely saddened by the hate she is getting and is trying not to let it affect her, but it is." The insider continued, explaining Blake's disappointment and fears: "She thought this was her moment to shine, but is now looking at it like the end of her career. She's fearing no one will want to work with her after this. She really wants to continue producing and directing and acting, but she knows she needs to take a step back for a minute to reassess the future."
