While the White House attempts to lock in policy priorities with international partners, Mar-a-Lago is becoming a magnet for foreign leaders eager to win Trump’s good graces.
President-elect Donald Trump’s threat Monday to impose a 25 percent tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico — one of a barrage of shots fired daily from Mar-a-Lago since his election victory — landed like a bombshell in Ottawa.
On Friday, after days of angst and an emergency “Team Canada” meeting with all 10 provincial premiers, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau jumped on a plane and flew to Palm Beach, Florida. He spent three hours at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and golf club, one of 11 others crowded around Trump at a table in the middle of the busy members dining room.
