Good morning. I'm Taylor Wilson, and today is Saturday, November 30th, 2024.

This is the excerpt.

Today, a look at Canada's Prime minister's trip to Marilago,

plus how Trump won a Latino majority area along the border this election, and we talk about Biden's legacy with trains. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau landed in West Palm Beach, Florida yesterday evening for a dinner meeting with President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-Lago estate, just days after Trump vowed to enact a 25% tariff on all products coming into the U.S. from Canada and Mexico.

Trudeau is the first of the leaders from the G7 group of industrial democracies to visit

the president-elect. Others joining the meeting included several proposed members of the next

administration, including North Dakota Governor Doug Bergam, the nominee for Interior Secretary,

Canter Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnik, the Commerce Secretary nominee, and Congressman Mike

Waltz, who's been named

the next national security advisor. The meeting was prompted by Trump's thread aired in a Monday

post on his social media platform, Truth Social, to sign an executive order on his first day in

office to hit the top U.S. trade partners with steep tariffs. Because tariffs are paid by importers,

not by the originating countries,

the additional costs typically are passed along to consumers. That's prompted anxiety,

not just among American consumers, but also officials in Mexico and Canada. Canada is the top

U.S. trading partner.

President-elect Donald Trump won the Rio Grande Valley, a Latino majority area along the border in South Texas.

What's that tell us more broadly about Latino voters and the parties pitching to them?

Hello, Rebecca. Hey, how's it going?
