'Everything is interwoven': Trudeau and Biden vow continued Canada-U.S. collaboration during historic visit

U.S President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have announced updates on a number of cross-border issues, after a day of meetings on Parliament Hill.

U.S President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau agreed to tackle a number of cross-border irritants, after a day of meetings on Parliament Hill, emphasising how important shared values are to shared prosperity and longstanding liberty.

"I can't think of a challenge we haven't met together," Biden said during a joint press conference standing next to Trudeau. "Today as we stand… at an inflection point in history, our nations are once again called upon to lead, and together I believe we're answering the call."

In a joint statement the two leaders announced plans to further bolster Norad, expand the Safe Third Country Agreement to unofficial ports of entry to address irregular migration, launch a one-year energy transformation task force, and offer more support to Haiti.

Another major cross-border point of contention heading into Friday's meetings were Biden’s “Buy-America” approach and Canada’s need to compete with his Inflation Reduction Act.

On this, the joint statement indicates that the United States and Canada will work together "toward an integrated North American approach that benefits U.S. and Canadian workers, suppliers, and products."

Here are the highlights of what Canada and the U.S. have agreed to.

"In this serious time, with all the challenges we face, we're doubling down on our partnership, and our friendship," Trudeau said during the joint press conference. "We'll also continue to work together as partners to keep our people safe. Keeping people safe also includes keeping asylum seekers safe, keeping our borders secure, and keeping our immigration system strong."
