OTTAWA --
U.S. President Joe Bidenâs first call to a foreign leader will be to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau this Friday, the White House has announced.
During a Wednesday evening briefing, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced the coming call.
Earlier in the day, federal officials and Canadaâs Ambassador to the United States Kirsten Hillman signalled that a conversation between the two world leaders would be scheduled soon.
Hillman indicated that Trudeau will soon be looking to meet with Biden and his team, though due to the ongoing pandemic and border restrictions, what would typically be an in-person official visit will happen virtually.
