**Interviewer:** Prime Minister Trudeau just met with President Trump in a bid to quell growing trade tensions. What do you make of this meeting, and do you think it will be enough to prevent a full-blown trade war?
**Guest:** This meeting was certainly a necessary step, given the alarming rhetoric coming from the White House. While it seems the two leaders managed to have a cordial conversation, it’s unclear if any concrete solutions were reached. The devil, as they say, is in the details. President Trump’s claims about a drug crisis stemming from Canada lack any real substantiation and appear to be a flimsy pretext for imposing harmful tariffs. The question remains: Is this just a temporary truce, or a genuine effort by both sides to find common ground? Only time will tell.
