Two Canadian ministers are in Florida this week to meet with the incoming U.S. administration to try to stave off the threat of sweeping tariffs.

Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly made the trip to Palm Beach, north of Miami, where U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago private club is located.
