In call with Biden, Trudeau talks trade, border ‘collaboration’ and Olympic soccer
WASHINGTON — It sounds like Justin Trudeau had the chance to needle his U.S. counterpart about Canada’s semifinal soccer win at the Tokyo Olympics.
A readout from the Prime Minister’s office says Trudeau spoke today with President Joe Biden — and that Canada’s victory over the United States came up in the conversation.
The two discussed weightier matters as well, including “close collaboration” at the Canada-U.S. border.
Canada has decided to begin allowing fully vaccinated U.S. citizens and permanent residents next week, but the White House has not reciprocated.
