MONTREAL—Quebec Premier François Legault wants Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to make the flow of migrants across the Roxham Road border crossing a priority during an upcoming meeting with the U.S. president.

Legault says in a letter to Trudeau dated Sunday that the federal government urgently needs to complete the renegotiation of an agreement with the United States that has pushed asylum seekers to enter Canada at irregular border crossings.
