Trudeau confers with European leaders on Trump, Freeland to meet Tillerson
OTTAWA — The Trudeau government has been conferring with jittery European allies about how to engage with the new Donald Trump administration in Washington, sources say.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau talked Trump with British Prime Minister Theresa May on the weekend and the unpredictable U.S. president was also a subject of discussion in a Monday call with French President Francois Hollande.
Readouts of the telephone calls from the prime minister’s office did not mention Trump and instead focused on how the British and French leaders offered condolences on the recent killing of six people at a Quebec City mosque.
Sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity briefed The Canadian Press on Trump-related aspects of the calls, which were not made public.
