It appears that even Ivanka Trump can’t resist the charms of adorable Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and she wasn’t being subtle about her little crush. President Trump’s daughter was spotted giving the PM adoring looks during a February 13 meeting. You and us both, girl!
The Justin Trudeau fan club has another member! The beloved Canadian prime minister, 45, had the pleasure of sitting next to the lovely Ivanka Trump, 35, during a day of meetings at the White House on February 13, and she was visibly delighted about the seating arrangement. Multiple photos snapped at a meeting of female entrepreneurs and business leaders show her making total eyes at Trudeau. So good!
This is a no judgement zone. Trudeau is a highly influential, highly talented, and dare we say it, incredibly attractive person; we would probably have the same expressions on our faces if we were sitting next to him for that long. In the photos, Ivanka is smiling broadly and gazing longingly at the prime minister. There’s nothing wrong with having a little crush now and then!
Their meeting was incredibly important. Ivanka helped build a task force of insanely talented women who are going to help other women succeed in business, both in the United States and in Canada. The United States Canada Council for the Advancement of Women Business Leaders-Female Entrepreneurs is an initiative that both Trudeau and President Donald Trump, 70, stand behind.
“I’m honored to be here and really looking forward to hearing from each of you who serve as tremendous role models for me and so many other business leaders across both of our countries,” Ivanka said, “and can lend some tremendously valuable perspective as we think about the unique challenges that entrepreneurs, women in the workforce, female small business owners are confronted with each and every day, and as we think how we level the playing field for this generation and for the next.”

Let the meeting of minds begin! US President Donald Trump is holding a joint press conference with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on February 13, following their first face-to-face meeting. They’re expected to discuss trade and security, but we all know that could fly out the window. Watch our live stream to see every moment!
It’s hard to believe that it has been less than one month since President Donald Trump, 70, took office, mainly because he’s been so busy. On his 25th day in office, the president is meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, 45, for the first time, marking his third visit with a state leader. Trump and Trudeau are ending their day of meetings with a joint press conference, which is expected to start at 2:00pm ET. Be sure to stay informed and watch!

The two leaders will be appearing together after a series of private meetings in which they were reportedly discussing trade, security and borders, and Trump’s desire to change the terms of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Doing so would hurt Canada’s economy. Trump and Trudeau aren’t expected to go too deep into immigration issues, but that doesn’t seem possible considering the current state of affairs. Whether or not any of this is brought up during the presser remains to be seen.
Following the press conference, Trudeau will be meeting with House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. The rest of his official schedule can be viewed HERE. “The President looks forward to a constructive conversation and strengthening the deep relationship that exists between the United States and Canada,” White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said on February 9.

Table set for cordial talks between Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump

OTTAWA — There was straight talk and there was cake. Yep. Cake.
When U.S. President Donald Trump’s top military adviser, the gruff and tough Defence Secretary James “Mad Dog” Mattis, met Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s defence minister, Harjit Sajjan, last Monday, they sat down for serious discussions.
Mattis brought a disarming surprise. A “Happy 150th birthday Canada” cake with a big Canadian flag on it, offered to Sajjan and his staff by Pentagon officials.
After the formal bilateral meeting, Sajjan and Mattis held a private dinner with their top aides while the others split the cake. Then Sajjan brought the uneaten middle chunk — with a big Maple Leaf on it — back to Ottawa. He presented it to Trudeau at a cabinet meeting the next day.
With gestures like that, you might expect the table’s been set for a friendly meeting between Trudeau and Trump on Monday.
But that may depend on whether the two leaders can find any chemistry despite their obvious differences.
If nothing else, the conservative populist Republican businessman and the progressive Liberal with political blue blood running in his veins each need the relationship to work.
In advance of the meeting, Trudeau seems to think it will.
He said Friday in Yellowknife that because the nation-to-nation relationship is long, deep and multi-faceted, and because both leaders are focused on “prosperity and opportunity for the middle class” on both sides of the border, “we’re certainly going to find common ground.”
Trudeau acknowledged there will be differences, but he said he will disagree “respectfully.” And yet Trudeau seems to think he can win Trump over, not by carrying the torch of liberalism, but on a practical level.
“I will continue to defend Canadian values, not out of a sense of ideology but because we know that our pragmatic and open approach to the world and to trade and a broad number of issues works for our society, works for our country and can work for the world.”
Earlier at a town hall in Yellowknife, asked how he’ll approach their differences, Trudeau said that in an increasingly pluralistic world, “Canada has a really, really important story to tell. It’s going to be important that we tell it.” One speaker quipped Trudeau should tell Trump, “we want to build our wall, too.”
One thing is certain: It will be a high-wire balancing act for both. Trump needs allies as he barges onto the world stage. Trudeau needs Trump to view Canada as a friend, ally and trusted trading partner. He would, after all, know well the truth of the phrase coined by his father, former prime minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau — that the Canadian mouse sleeping with an American elephant feels every twitch “no matter how friendly or even-tempered is the beast.”
So Trudeau and the Canadian ministers repeat the mantra: Canada is the No. 1 export destination for 35 states, and the two countries do more than $2.4 billion in trade very day. And more than 9 million American jobs depend directly on exports to Canada.
It’s a good pitch they hope will persuade Trump that he’ll hurt his own people if he rips up NAFTA as threatened, or seeks punitive trade measures or tariffs at the border.
But words still matter. And slip-ups happen.
Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland met Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Trump’s top foreign affairs adviser, and other Washington power brokers on Wednesday. There was no cake. No gifts exchanged.
Still, Freeland emerged thrilled to report how informed the Americans already were about the integrated Canadian and U.S. economies, saying she was “really pushing on an open door.”
Freeland has worked overtime in recent weeks getting ready for Trump’s anticipated moves. She led consultations with key Canadian stakeholders, labour representatives, softwood lumber industry representatives, the financial and banking sectors, tech sector and natural resources sector.
But in the space of one conference call with Canadian reporters, Freeland stomped on the government’s main message. She said she’d made clear to the Americans that Canada believed “tariffs on exports would be mutually harmful to both Canada and the United States, and if such an idea were ever to come into being Canada would respond appropriately.”
It was language that sounded more threatening and unfriendly than sources in government say was intended. It led immediately to headlines that Canada was prepared to levy a tax back or readying for a trade war, a mixed message at odds with what was supposed to be Canada’s message that day: that the Trudeau government is strongly opposed to any imposition of new tariffs between Canada and the United States.
Meanwhile, in Ottawa, Trudeau is under pressure to drop economic policies that might make Canada uncompetitive with the U.S., or to stand up to Trump on sensitive issues like immigration and cross-border traffic.
Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre warned the Monday summit with the president “must not turn into an episode of The Apprentice. One-fifth of our workers depend on Canada-U.S. trade for their jobs. Donald Trump wants to move those jobs south,” he said, telling Trudeau to drop plans for carbon taxes and fiscal measures he said would hurt companies here.
The NDP’s Nathan Cullen said scornfully it is a “celebrity summit” where Trudeau can’t afford to simply make nice.
“It has to be more than a cordial first chat,” Cullen said. “A trade war with Canada is being threatened from Mr. Trump’s office and some Republicans now. So we don’t have time for Mr. Trudeau just to have a Budweiser with Mr. Trump.”
“Straight, firm talk from our prime minister would be the only way to gain respect in this White House.”
