“Trudeau Taken by Surprise: Canadian PM Visits Mar-a-Lago Amid Tariff Talks”

Just days after Trump revealed plans to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico, Justin Trudeau made an unanticipated trip south of the border, heading directly to Mar-a-Lago.

Trudeau’s visit was documented throughout the day, ending with a photo of the Canadian leader seated beside President-elect Trump.

While Democrats lament guacamole taxes and sing a chorus of “We told you so” about a president who won’t take office until January, Trump’s proactive pressure campaign is already causing ripples.

Tariffs are the economic equivalent of a nuclear warhead in international trade. They’re not meant to be used, but others need to believe you’re willing to use them.

Trudeau is convinced that Trump will follow through on tariffs.

The tariffs are the leverage; border security is the objective.

Take note, mainstream media: your relevance is fading.

The Prime Minister arrived in the evening to dine with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, leaving little doubt among observers that the unannounced visit was Trudeau’s initial attempt to extend an olive branch and avoid a trade dispute between the U.S. and his northern homeland.

As anticipated, Twitter/X was filled with jabs at Trudeau.

People were reveling in Trump’s knack for compelling leaders like Trudeau to take action.

They were equally entertained by a particular guest at Mar-a-Lago.

What on earth is happening there?

These are crazy times, folks, and we’re loving every minute of it.

Well done, Justin! You’ve just set a new record.

While more details of the meeting are likely to surface, Trudeau was tight-lipped after dining with Donald.

After the excitement of his Tay Tay tour, Trudeau had to Shake It Off and try to handle Trump on his own turf.

It’s likely not the week he had in mind.

It’s clear who’s in charge now.
