QUEBEC CITY—President Donald Trump had a bilateral meeting on Friday with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during the G7 Summit in La Malbaie, Quebec. Both leaders traded friendly jokes about trade and NAFTA before the start of the meeting.

Trump first joked that “Justin has agreed to cut all tariffs, all trade barriers between Canada and the United States,” which made Trudeau laugh. Trudeau responded, “I would say NAFTA is in good shape.”
