"US-Canada Relations in Focus: Biden and Trudeau Navigate Thorny Issues and Chinese Influence"

President Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are set to discuss a range of issues during Biden's first foreign trip as president, including NORAD modernization, Ukraine, Haiti, immigration, China, trade, critical minerals, climate issues, and the Inflation Reduction Act. Immigration is a growing problem for both leaders, and Canadian leaders are interested in discussing the Safe Third Country Agreement. Trudeau may also ask Biden about China's alleged meddling in Canadian elections. Both nations have committed to net-zero emissions by 2050, but continue to use more oil and gas than they would like.
