The dinner at Mar-a-Lago and premiers’ meeting earlier in the week form the correct approach to negotiating trade if the Prime Minister stays the course
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau leaves a hotel in West Palm Beach, after a meeting with U.S. president-elect Donald Trump last night at Trump's residences of Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla., on Nov. 30.We don’t know exactly what was said by U.S. president-elect Donald Trump and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during their Fridaytalked, and talked, and talked. About his victory in the election, the most amazing political win of all time.
Mr. Trudeau is the lamest of ducks – far behind in the polls, facing an election in months that he is likely to lose. He is playing a very weak hand. And Mr. Trump is an expert at exploiting weakness. Meanwhile, get the negotiations going. In that respect, who was not at the table mattered as much as who was at it. Who was talking with whom before, during or after the meal? Who agreed to talk again on Monday?
Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc was at the dinner. He is a trusted friend of Mr. Trudeau. Is he going to lead the border talks? Will there be a cabinet shuffle to put in place the negotiating team? Did I mention the inauguration is in 51 days?
