Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office said he talked to U.S. President Donald Trump today about his administration's decision to investigate auto imports as a threat to national security, a day after Trudeau said the idea was based on flimsy logic. Trudeau spoke with Trump by phone, according to a readout from the Prime Minister's Office. The PMO said the two leaders also discussed bringing North American Free Trade Agreement negotiations to a "timely conclusion." "The prime minister also raised strong concerns about the U.S.'s section 232 investigation on automobile imports, given the mutually beneficial integration of the Canadian and American auto industries," the readout said. "President Donald J. Trump spoke today with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada about the North American Free Trade Agreement and other trade and economic issues," the statement said.
