Trudeau pointed to the North American example of economic integration on Tuesday and warned of the risks of protectionism and nationalism. The leaders of North America confront a rising tide of economic protectionism and nationalism as they hold a summit Wednesday in the Canadian capital. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for the first time is hosting U.S. President Barack Obama and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto in Ottawa for the North American leaders' summit. He said the major difference was that the North American countries focused on trade, while the EU also moved to establish a common currency, the euro. Trudeau and Pena Nieto announced measures to reduce barriers during the Mexican leader's state visit to Canada ahead of the summit.
