Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and US President Donald Trump talked for 50 minutes on Wednesday (5), according to Trudeau’s office.
The conversation was “constructive” and the two leaders can speak again today, added the cabinet. She follows a extraordinary back and forth between the two US leaders about a ongoing trade war.
After the connection, Trump wrote in a socially publication that told Trudeau that the efforts he is making to reduce fentanyl trafficking “are not good enough.” Although Trump has said that the leaders’ connection ended in a “” somewhat “friendly” manner, he did not mention any possible agreement on the 25% tariff he imposed on the North US neighbor.
“Justin Trudeau of Canada called me to ask what could be done about the tariffs. I told him that many people died because of the Fentanil who went through the borders of Canada and Mexico, and nothing convinced me that it stopped. He said he improved, but I said, ‘This is not good enough, “Trump wrote.
Trump repeatedly joined the Canadian border and the Mexican border when talking about illegal imports of Fentanil. But federal statistics show that US border officials seized 21,889 fentanyl pounds in the 2024 fiscal year. Of this amount, 43 pounds were seized at the Canadian border – about 0.2% – compared to 21,148 pounds on the Mexican border, about 96.6%.
Trump added: “The connection ended in a ‘somewhat’ friendly manner! He couldn’t tell me when the Canadian election would occur, which made me curious, like, what’s going on here? So I realized that he is trying to use this issue to remain in power. Good luck, Justin! ”
The date of the election has not yet been set after Trudeau announced his decision to resign in January.
