Spy satellites will be used to track migrants attempted to cross Channel in new £15m schemeTwo of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's top cabinet ministers met Friday with two of U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's cabinet picks in an attempt to stave off the looming prospect of tariffs on Canadian exports. Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly and Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc flew to Florida to brief the presidential transition team on the government's plan for improving border security and to make the case that Trump's threat of steep tariffs on all Canadian exports to the U.S. would damage both countries' economies. Trump threatened last month to slap a 25 per cent tariff on all goods entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico starting on Jan. 20, his inauguration day, unless the countries curb the flow of drugs and migrants across their borders. Joly and LeBlanc met Friday morning with Trump's nominee for secretary of commerce, Howard Lutnick, and his pick for secretary of the interior, Doug Burgum, at the president-elect's Mar-a-Lago resort, where his transition team is headquartered. "Both ministers outlined the measures in Canada's border plan and reiterated the shared commitment to strengthen border security as well as combat the harm caused by fentanyl to save Canadian and American lives," LeBlanc's spokesperson Jean-Sébastien Comeau said in an email to CBC News. While the ministers did not obtain a commitment to hold off on the tariffs, Comeau said the meeting was "productive" and positive, and that discussions would continue in the coming weeks.

(Evan Vucci/The Associated Press) CBC News requested interviews Friday with Joly and LeBlanc, but they were not available. The Trudeau government has been scrambling for the past month to mount a response to the tariff threat, which has until now included the prime minister and Leblanc, then-minister of public safety, flying to Mar-a-Lago for a dinner meeting with Trump and unveiling a $1.3-billion suite of measures meant to disrupt the flow of fentanyl and strengthen 24/7 surveillance of the border. Trump taunts Trudeau by calling him 'governor' of 'a great state' Analysis Trump names his tariff man. Here's what he's said and what it means for Canada Meanwhile, Trump has followed up with a succession of Canada-focused social media posts, including taunting Trudeau as "governor," suggesting Canadians would be better off living in the 51st state , and claiming he'd urged former hockey star Wayne Gretzky to "run for prime minister ." Trudeau is currently in British Columbia on Christmas vacation, amid mounting questions about his leadership and an imminent threat that his government could fall next month in a non-confidence vote. CBC News asked Trump's transition team for comment on Friday's meetings but did not receive a response. Donald Trump urges Wayne Gretzky to run for prime minister 1 day ago Duration 4:24 U.S. president-elect Donald Trump claimed on social media that he urged hockey icon Wayne Gretzky to run for prime minister during a Christmas visit. It’s Trump’s latest comment on Canadian politics, following quips about Canada becoming the U.S.’s 51st state and meeting 'Governor' Justin Trudeau. Lutnick, CEO of Wall Street financial services giant Cantor Fitzgerald, was a major donor to Trump's campaign. The president-elect said Lutnick "will lead our tariff and trade agenda " when announcing his nomination as secretary of commerce. Trump's trade deficit concerns raised in meeting: source Trump's frustrations about the U.S. trade deficit with Canada came up at the meeting, a senior Canadian government source told CBC News. Trump has repeatedly inaccurately characterized the trade deficit — about $75 billion US in 2023 — as the U.S. subsidizing the Canadian economy. Doug Ford makes his case against Trump's tariffs in U.S. media interviews Economists say the trade deficit is almost entirely because of Canada's large petroleum exports. The U.S. imported more crude oil from Canada in 2023 than from all other countries combined, according to data posted by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The source said it will be tricky for Canada to deal with Trump's trade deficit concerns. The president-elect has signalled he wants to renegotiate the terms of the tripartite trade agreement between the U.S., Canada and Mexico, a deal struck during Trump's first term in office.

(Rob Gurdebeke/The Canadian Press) The likely key objective for LeBlanc and Joly at the Mar-a-Lago meeting was to figure out if Canada's planned border measures will be enough to dissuade Trump from go through with his tariff threat, said Lori Turnbull, a political science professor at Dalhousie University. "I'm not sure if it's realistic that they're going to get an answer like that today," Turnbull told CBC News Network's Natasha Fatah in an interview Friday. Trump starts a victory dance over Canada border moves LeBlanc says he's meeting with Trump's border czar after Christmas to present $1.3B plan "But I think the point is to try to move toward that goal and to see what else might need to be done," Turnbull said. "I think more broadly, it's about relationship-building. It's about being there, establishing a conversation, keeping that line of communication open and having the conversation with people who are not Trump." Ahead of the meeting, LeBlanc's spokesperson had said that the ministers intended "to focus on Canada's efforts to combat fentanyl trafficking and illegal migration and the measures outlined in Canada's border plan, as well as the negative impacts that the imposition of 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods would have on both Canada and the United States." LeBlanc had previously said he would meet Trump's border czar Tom Homan "after Christmas" to present Canada's proposed plan to secure the shared border. However, LeBlanc did not meet Homan on Friday.

Ipswich Town lost 1-0 at Arsenal tonight. Stuart Watson gives his player grades. ARO MURIC Offside flag spared his blushes when Gabriel Jesus squeezed a shot in from the byline. Made a string of solid enough stops, though one push out could easily have led to a rebound goal. No major wobbles on the ball this time. 6 BEN JOHNSON Couldn’t stop the cross for Arsenal’s winning goal. Caught between playing two roles at times. Just 19 touches of the ball – a very low number for a full-back. 6 DARA O’SHEA Took the captain’s armband with Sam Morsy suspended and Conor Chaplin on the bench. Won five headers and blocked two shots. Big part of Town’s stubborn resistance. 8 LUKE WOOLFENDEN His first start since the home loss to Everton back on October 19. Read the game expertly at the heart of the back five, making five interceptions. Adventurous run at the start of the second half kickstarted a spell of pressure. 8 JACOB GREAVES Wasn’t far behind Woolfenden in terms of interceptions and clearances. Made one lunging block, but will feel he should have done better for the winning goal. Got his body position wrong as ball entered the box. 7 LEIF DAVIS A much more disciplined display. Stayed deep, competed physically and dealt with Martinelli well. 7 KALVIN PHILLIPS First appearance since red card against Leicester back on November 2. Cut off passing angles and snapped at heels. Encouraging. 7 JENS CAJUSTE Part of a solid set-up. Tried to carry the ball when he could. 6 OMARI HUTCHINSON Decision-making and execution wasn’t on point when Town had their rare breakaway opportunities. Helped with defensive structure though. 5 SAMMIE SZMODICS Couldn’t quite connect with a good chance inside the opening minute, then didn’t spot David Raya off his line right at the start of the second period. Town’s best two chances. Worked hard though. 5 LIAM DELAP Tried to ruffle feathers in his usual manner, but fed off scraps. Lost his man when Gabriel headed big chance wide. 5 JACK CLARKE (for Szmodics 71) Held the ball for too long when Town worked a good position. Decision-making needs to improve. 5 JACK TAYLOR (for Johnson 80) Injected some late energy, but why didn’t he shoot when the space opened up late on? 5 NATHAN BROADHEAD (for Cajuste 80) Another bright cameo. Showed some sharp touches. 6 ALI AL-HAMADI (for Delap 80) Showed his usual hustle and bustle. 5 HARRY CLARKE (for Woolfenden 90+1) Will have been keen to get on against the club Town signed him from.
