Two members of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet will be in Palm Beach, Fla., Friday to meet with members of Donald Trump's team.

Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly and newly appointed Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc are making the trip south to further discussions with members of the future Trump administration, ahead of inauguration day on Jan. 20.

"They look forward to continuing the discussions that took place when the Prime Minister met with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago last month," said Jean-Sébastien Comeau, director of communications for Minister LeBlanc, in a statement.

The duo is also looking to build off a "positive call" the ministers had with Tom Homan, Trump's border czar, earlier this month.

In an exclusive interview with CTV's Power Play host Vassy Kapelos on Dec. 19, Homan called border talks with Canada "positive."

"The conversation I have in Canada, I couldn't ask for a better conversation," Homan said.

"Of course, actions have to follow, but I'm very optimistic from the conversation I had that we're going to come up with a good border security plan."
