Canada’s premiers are set to meet with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and members of his cabinet today to talk about U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s vow to impose steep tariffs.

Trump has promised to impose 25 percent tariffs on all Canadian and Mexican imports—one of several measures he says he'll enact on day one of his presidency through an executive order. He assumes that office on Monday.
