Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks with President-elect Trump

 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke with Donald Trump in a phone call on Wednesday evening during which he congratulated the president-elect on his victory.

Trudeau and Trump discussed the longstanding partnership between Canada and the US, trade and North American security, according to a statement from the Canadian Prime Minister’s Office.

The Canada, US and Mexico trade agreement, which Trump and Trudeau “successfully negotiated in the President’s first term,” was among topics discussed, it said, adding they spoke about their “shared interest in secure and reliable supply chains and addressing unfair trading practices in the global economy.”

The two also spoke about “North American security” and “agreed to stay in close contact,” it went on.

Some background: Trudeau and Trump have had a rocky relationship, with the Canadian prime minister being caught on a viral video in 2019 talking about Trump with Boris Johnson, Emmanuel Macron and Mark Rutte, who were then the leaders of United Kingdom, France and the Netherlands, respectively.

In turn, Trump at the time called Trudeau “two-faced.”
