Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wrapped up a call with his U.S. counterpart midday Wednesday, a senior government official told CBC News.
It’s the first time the two have spoken since U.S. President Donald Trump launched a trade war yesterday with devastating tariffs on all Canadian goods.
The details of what the two leaders discussed are not yet known.
Vice-President JD Vance and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick were also on the call, the government official said.
The official said discussions between the two sides will continue throughout the afternoon.
Hold the line. Don’t capitulate to monthly pauses. Whatever is being asked will never be enough. The idiot wants to tariff our exports for the cash, then he wants to annex us and take the resources for himself for free.
