Donald Trump says he has spoken with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and will “be speaking to him again”, the day before the US president’s new tariffs come into force on Tuesday.

The Republican president said he will also talk with Mexican leader Claudia Sheinbaum. Both Canada and Mexico are about to levy their own tariffs in response to US actions.
