Quebec Premier Legault Convenes with Trump in Paris

Quebec Premier François Legault reveals he had a meeting with the U.S. president-elect Donald Trump in Paris, where they discussed border control and a proposed tariff on Canadian goods.

Legault shared a photo on social media showing him shaking hands with Trump during his trip to Paris for the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral.

Trump has made a pledge to enforce a severe 25 percent tariff on Canada unless it enhances security at the border and halts the influx of migrants and illegal drugs.

This meeting took place while numerous world leaders were in Paris to commemorate the restoration of the iconic cathedral, which is considered a pinnacle of French architectural heritage.

During his time in Paris, Legault also had encounters with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who is set to lead a government efficiency department in the upcoming Trump administration.

The premier conveyed Quebec’s support for Ukraine to Zelenskyy and engaged in discussions about electric vehicles and international trade with Musk.
