Analyze the recent meeting between Donald Trump and Justin Trudeau, commenting on both leaders' demeanor and objectives for the meeting.
For the Trump administration and Trump himself, this was one of those boxes that had to be checked off. They are certainly aware of all the media reports from Canada, and knew they had to get this out of the way. Trump gave the appearance of a man who would rather have been back golfing in Florida. Watching and listening to him read his lines, was like watching paint dry. Success for Trudeau, was not having Trump go ballistic.
