Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with US President-elect Donald Trump on Friday, according to people familiar with their plans, as the incoming US leader threatens to implement fresh tariffs on neighboring countries unless they halt the flow of illegal drugs and undocumented migrants across borders.

Trudeau landed in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday evening, people familiar with the plans said, speaking on condition of anonymity to share details on the meeting.  

Trump earlier this week vowed to hit Canada and Mexico as well as China with additional tariffs, casting the levies as necessary to secure US borders, a top concern of voters in November’s presidential election. The president-elect said he would impose additional 10% tariffs on goods from China and 25% tariffs on all products from Mexico and Canada if they failed to act.
