Ottawa, Canada – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau today issued a statement extending his congratulations to Donald Trump on his re-election as President of the United States, alongside Senator JD Vance, who will serve as Vice-President. The statement highlights Canada’s commitment to continuing its close collaboration with the U.S. on a range of important issues, including trade, investment, and continental security.
“On behalf of the Government of Canada, I congratulate Donald Trump on being elected as President of the United States of America for a second term, and Senator JD Vance for his election as Vice-President of the United States,” said Trudeau in his statement. He further noted the strength of the Canada-U.S. relationship, calling it “the world’s most successful partnership,” built on a shared history, common values, and deep ties between the people of both nations.
Reflecting on the achievements of Trump’s first term, Trudeau highlighted the successful renegotiation of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), a trade pact that has strengthened North American economic ties. In 2023 alone, trade between Canada and the U.S. reached a record $1.3 trillion, with over $3.5 billion in goods and services crossing the border daily.
Looking to the future, the Prime Minister expressed his eagerness to work closely with President Trump and his administration to further enhance the already robust relationship between Canada and the United States.
