Justin Trudeau's plane lands in Palm Beach to meet Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago after tariff threat

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau touched down Friday evening at Palm Beach International Airport for a meeting with President-elect Donald Trump.

On Monday, Trump announced on Truth Social that he wished to impose a 25 percent import tax on Canada - and also on Mexico - to pressure America's neighbors to do more to control illegal immigration coming over the U.S. border. 

Two hours later, Trudeau got on the phone with Trump, with the two leaders having a constructive conversation on trade and border security. 

Now it appears the Canadian prime minister is going to make an in-person plea. 

Earlier this week he told reporters that Canada should take Trump's tariff threat seriously.

'One of the things that is really important to understand is that Donald Trump, when he makes statements like that, he plans on carrying them out,' Trudeau said, according to the Globe and Mail. 'There's no question about it.' 

'Our responsibility is to point out that, in this way, he would be actually not just be harming Canadians, who work so well with the United States, he’d actually be raising prices for American citizens as well and hurting American industry and businesses,' Trudeau added. 

Trump has been holding court at Mar-a-Lago all week through the Thanksgiving holiday - also spending hours at his nearby West Palm Beach golf club. 

On Wednesday night he entertained Facebook founder and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg for dinner after spending the afternoon playing a round of golf. 

He had a full house at Mar-a-Lago for the Thanksgiving holiday. 

Social media posts showed billionaire Elon Musk in close company with the president-elect, Melania and Barron. 

Tiffany Trump, who's expecting her first child, was also spotted. 

Additionally, actor Sylvester Stallone was on hand.
