Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was in Florida at Mar-a-Lago and expected to meet with President-elect Donald Trump Friday night, according to multiple sources. The expected meeting came after Trump threatened sweeping 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada until both countries stop what he claims is a flow of drugs and illegal immigrants into the United States.

The sudden visit to Florida by the leader of Canada comes days after Trump threatened to impose a 25 percent tariff on Canadian and Mexican goods.
