Daily Trump Tracker: Trudeau and Trump shake on it

They meet at last

Trump’s first meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wasn’t a disaster. They talked trade (Trump said he wants few tweaks to NAFTA) and about security (Trudeau said Canada will still pursue policies of “openness towards immigration [and] refugees”). Still working on that handshake though.

Flynn Flop   

Trump is reportedly none too happy with his National Security Adviser, Gen. Michael Flynn, after news reports surfaced that Flynn was chatting with Russian officials about sanctions—before Trump even took office. Luckily for Trump, he was not asked by reporters about Flynn during his press conference with Trudeau.
