Despite the troubled NAFTA talks, Trudeau remained positive in his assessment of Trump.
"Donald Trump has demonstrated that he’s a bit of a disruptive force. He does unpredictable things,” Trudeau said. “He's a deal-maker. He's a negotiator."

Trudeau noted that he’s optimistic about his relationship with Trump. "The thing that reassures me fundamentally is he got elected on a commitment to help people, to make America great again."
He added: “The way to help those people is to bring in trade deals and jobs and economic growth that is going to help.”
