OTTAWA—U.S. Vice-President Mike Pence met with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Ottawa today to discuss the new trilateral North American trade pact, with both parties making it clear that relations with the Chinese regime would be at the top of those talks.

While the ratification of the new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) was expected, the talks included the Chinese regime’s imprisonment of Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor.
