Canadian ministers to talk tariffs with Trump aides in Florida

Al Jazeera  

Visit by Canada’s foreign affairs and finance ministers comes as country hopes to avoid 25-percent US tariffs. The Canadian ministers of finance and foreign affairs are set to hold talks in the US state of Florida with aides to Donald Trump, as the incoming United States president’s threat of hitting Canada with steep tariffs looms large. Late last month, Trump threatened to slap 25-percent tariffs on all Canadian goods if the US’s northern neighbour did not do more to stem the flow of illegal drugs and irregular migration over its border. LeBlanc’s office said in a statement on Thursday that the Canadian ministers would highlight “the negative impacts that the imposition of 25 percent tariffs on Canadian goods would have on both Canada and the United States”. It was not immediately clear which Trump advisers the ministers would be meeting with, but LeBlanc said last week that he planned to meet after Christmas with Tom Homan, Trump’s incoming “border czar”.
