Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau arrived in Florida tonight to have discussions over dinner at his Mar-A-Lago resort.
Trudeau is meeting with the President-elect to discuss worries over the 25% tariffs he threatened on all products from Canada -- should there be no changes to the border security.
Trump, who will graciously host the Canadian PM over dinner, has warned through diplomatic channels the upcoming tariffs.
He is looking to decrease the amount of illegal drugs and people coming across not only the Mexican and Canadian borders. Stone News Network is unsure how many people illegally cross into the United States of America from Canada, but it's been well known some drugs do appear from Canada.
Trudeau said this today about the upcoming meeting tonight:
"We’re going to work together to meet some of the concerns," he told reporters in Canada's Prince Edward Island. "But ultimately it is through lots of real constructive conversations with President Trump that I am going to have, that will keep us moving forward on the right track for all Canadians."

Trump said earlier last week:
"Right now a Caravan coming from Mexico, composed of thousands of people, seems to be unstoppable in its quest to come through our currently Open Border," he wrote. "On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders."
Canadian officials had this to say:
"Our relationship today is balanced and mutually beneficial, particularly for American workers," Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc said in a joint statement. "Today, Canada buys more from the United States than China, Japan, France, and the U.K. combined. Canada is essential to US domestic energy supply, and last year 60 percent of U.S. crude oil imports originated in Canada."
It is hopeful that a compromise can be made between the borders of the two largest countries -- who have a complicated interdependency on each other.
