Trump had 'very productive meeting' with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) reported last month that some of President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet nominees have had harsh words for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Yet as Breitbart reported, that didn't prevent Trudeau from traveling to Mar-a-Lago last week and visiting the president-elect.
Trump: Meeting focused on drugs and illegal immigration
The website noted how Trump spoke about their meeting in a Truth Social post this past Saturday, writing that the two "had a very productive meeting."
He explained that they discussed areas of potential cooperation, including the "fentanyl and drug crisis that has decimated so many lives as a result of illegal immigration."
"I made it very clear that the United States will no longer sit idly by as our Citizens become victims to the scourge of this Drug Epidemic, caused mainly by the Drug Cartels, and Fentanyl pouring in from China. Too much death and hardship!" Trump continued.
Trump stressed that "Prime Minister Trudeau has made a commitment to work with us to end this terrible devastation of U.S. Families."
"We also spoke about many other important topics like Energy, Trade, and the Arctic. All are vital issues that I will be addressing on my first days back in Office, and before," the president-elect went on to add.
Trudeau looks "forward to the work we can do together"
The Associated Press reported that for his part, Trudeau stated that he and Trump enjoyed an "excellent conversation" with a source quoted as saying that it lasted for three hours.
The Canadian prime minister also put up a social media post which featured a photo of him and Trump at the president-elect's resort.

"Thanks for dinner last night, President Trump. I look forward to the work we can do together, again," Trudeau wrote in a caption.
Canada moves to secure border after Trump threatens higher tariffs
Canada's National Post reported last week that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is looking to redeploy its officers along the U.S. border.
Personnel are expected to be concentrated in the provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick, which border Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
The announcement came just days after Trump threatened to impose higher tariffs against both Canada and Mexico in retaliation for illegal migration and drug smuggling.
