President-elect Donald Trump is having dinner with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at Mar-a-Lago on Friday evening, a source familiar with the meeting told CNN.

Some members of Trudeau’s cabinet are expected to attend the dinner, a senior Canadian government official told CNN. Trudeau is expected to leave Mar-a-Lago shortly after dinner.

The meeting comes just days after Trump promised massive increases in tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada starting on the first day of his term, specifically calling for a 25% tariff on all products shipped to the United States.

“It’s really important to understand that when Donald Trump makes statements like this, he intends to put them into action. There is no doubt about that,” Trudeau told reporters during an unrelated news conference Friday morning. “Our responsibility is to point out that in this way he would not only harm Canadians who work so well with the United States; in fact, it would also raise prices for American citizens and harm American industries and businesses.”

Trudeau said he looks forward to having “a lot of great conversations” with Trump and that the two will “work together to address some of the concerns and respond to some of the issues.”

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, whom Trump has asked to serve as Interior secretary, and his wife Kathryn are attending the dinner with Trudeau, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Florida Rep. Mike Waltz, Trump’s national security adviser, and Trump transition co-chair Howard Lutnick, his commerce secretary, are also at the table with their spouses, a source confirmed.

Trudeau’s chief of staff Katie Telford and Canadian Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc were also present, the same source confirmed.

Canada’s Global News was first to report the list of dinner attendees.

Trump’s tariffs, if enacted, could have a devastating impact on America’s supply chains and industries that rely on goods from the country’s closest trading partners.

CNN previously reported that Trump and Trudeau had a brief phone call after the president-elect’s announcement that discussed border security and trade. A senior Canadian government source called the call productive and told CNN that the two had promised to stay in touch in the coming days.

During Trump’s first term in office, the United States and Canada had a difficult relationship at times, particularly on the issue of trade. Trump used tariffs against Canada during negotiations to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Many U.S. imports from Canada and Mexico are exempt from tariffs under the USMCA trade deal between the three nations that Trump pushed for during his first term. It’s not clear how Trump would implement the proposed tariffs without violating the USMCA.

Earlier this week, Trump spoke with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum for the first time following Trump’s tariff announcement, but they gave conflicting statements about the call.

Trump said Wednesday that Sheinbaum had agreed to close the U.S.-Mexico border, but Sheinbaum denied that on Thursday.

Sheinbaum has also suggested that Mexico would respond with counter-tariffs if Trump followed through on his threat.

Trump has faced backlash over his tariff proposal in recent days, including from President Joe Biden, who called it “counterproductive” and warned that it could “start screwing up U.S. relations with Canada and Mexico.”
