Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wrapped up a call with his U.S. counterpart midday Wednesday, a senior government official told CBC News.
It’s the first time the two have spoken since U.S. President Donald Trump launched a trade war yesterday with devastating tariffs on all Canadian goods.
The details of what the two leaders discussed are not yet known.
Vice-President JD Vance and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick were also on the call, the government official said.
The official said discussions between the two sides will continue throughout the afternoon.
