A Conservative member of Parliament has tapped a longtime friendship to connect with Donald Trump’s inner circle as Canada prepares for the president-elect’s return to the White House next month amid threats of devastating tariffs.

Jamil Jivani posted a picture on social media Saturday with vice-president-elect JD Vance and British Conservative Opposition Leader Kemi Badenoch. A source with knowledge of the gathering said the three had dinner in Arlington, Va., not far from Washington.
