Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned Friday he may skip a summit in Washington next week with President Trump and Mexico's Andrés Manuel López Obrador over the coronavirus pandemic and the Trump administrations threats of tariffs.
Speaking at a press conference near Ottawa, Trudeau said his government was still in touch with American officials over the summit scheduled for July 8-9, which is set to celebrate the newly-implemented United StatesMexicoCanada Agreement.
Were obviously concerned about the proposed issue of tariffs on aluminum and steel that the Americans have floated recently. Were also concerned about the health situation and the coronavirus reality that is still hitting all three of our countries, he said.
Trudeau later noted that conversations with U.S. officials included discussions on the state of the coronavirus outbreak, which has worsened in recent weeks.
