The President
spoke by phone today with Prime Minister-designate Justin Trudeau of
Canada to congratulate him on the Liberal Party’s victory in the October
19 elections. The two leaders
agreed on the importance of deepening the already strong United
States-Canada relationship and committed to strengthening the countries’
joint efforts to promote trade, combat terrorism, and mitigate climate
change. In particular, they noted the successful
conclusion of Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations and the need to
move forward with implementing the high standards of the agreement,
which promises to boost economic growth and support good-paying jobs on
both sides of the border. They committed to work
together to achieve an ambitious and durable global climate agreement
in Paris in December. The President wished the Prime Minister-Designate
well and noted that he looks forward to meeting with him in the near
future.
