Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie Gregoire Trudeau arrive in Los Angeles, California, June 7, 2022. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean KilpatrickU.S. President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are charting markedly different paths today at the Summit of the Americas.
Later, the prime minister will attend a roundtable meeting with Latin American and Caribbean leaders to discuss climate change, defending democratic values and promoting gender equality. The meetings mark a whipsaw pivot for Trudeau, who spent Tuesday afternoon in the rarified air of the Rocky Mountains for meetings with military officials in Colorado.
Trudeau and Anand, flanked by Norad's U.S. and Canadian commanders, met with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in a boardroom festooned with images of fighter jets and military insignia. VanHerck presented Trudeau with a hunk of the mountainous rock that surrounds the base, mounted on a platform and adorned with two of the commander's challenge coins.
