In a significant diplomatic move Kirsten Hillman (Canadas ambassador to US) shared details about a game-changing dinner between Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump; the meeting helped fix some mis-understandings about North-American borders
The high-level dinner talk became a turning-point in US-Canada relations - as Trudeau managed to explain why Canada shouldnt be viewed same as Mexico when it comes to cross-border issues. The canadian leader made clear points about different situations with:
- drug-trafficking patterns
- migration flows
- trade relationships
The ambassador pointed out that this face-to-face meeting worked well to address possible trade-tariffs that were hanging over Canadian products. The dinner talk (which took place at a crucial time) helped establish better understanding between both nations leaders
The diplomatic success showed how direct talks can fix wrong ideas about border control - Hillman noted that the US team got a clearer picture of Canadas unique position as Americas northern neighbor
