Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and members of his cabinet congratulated Donald Trump Wednesday morning on his second United States presidential election win, amid questions about how the federal government intends to navigate a second term.
"The friendship between Canada and the U.S. is the envy of the world. I know President Trump and I will work together to create more opportunity, prosperity, and security for both of our nations," Trudeau said in a post on social media.
They echoed that sentiment as they arrived on Parliament Hill, where the results of the consequential U.S. election was the top topic of conversation.
"I want to congratulate Donald on a decisive victory last night. I look forward to working with President Trump once again," Trudeau told reporters.
"The world is actually even more difficult and more complicated than it was four years ago, and I know that there's lots of work for us to do, and I'm looking forward to doing it," the prime minister said.
"We're going to make sure that this extraordinary friendship and alliance between Canada and the United States continues to be a real benefit to Canadians, but also to people around the world."
Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland tried to assure anxious Canadians.
