Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump discussed all things Canada-US on Monday. Prior to a joint news conference, the men issued a statement on shared priorities that seemed to suggest the first in-person encounters between the prime minister and the U.S. president had gone well. “America is deeply fortunate to have a neighbour like Canada,” Trump said.(see video below). “We share the same values, we share the love — a truly great love — of freedom…. American and Canadian troops have gone to battle together, fought wars together and forged the special bonds that come when two nations have shed their blood together.” Before the meeting, former ambassador to Washington and fellow Liberal Frank McKenna, had advice for Trudeau. He told Trudeau not to “moralize” with Trump. In other words, stick to things you can win at. The PM joined forces with First Daughter Ivanka Trump to “do battle on behalf of women in business” as reported by TMZ. They met at the White House to promote women in business. They both spoke to President Trump and female business executives. Trudeau, Trump find common ground
