Washington, D.C. –

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in Washington, D.C. to mark the 75th anniversary of the formation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, but it’s a domestic focus on trade that is dominating his schedule on the first day of his visit.

The NATO summit officially begins on Tuesday. Before the opening NATO event tomorrow, Trudeau will have already participated in four Team Canada trade meetings with American business executives and lawmakers.

The prime minister is seeking to advance business opportunities for Canadians and will meet with Joshua Bolten, the CEO of the Business Roundtable, which represents the heads of big corporations such as Google and Apple.

Trudeau will also sit down with U.S. Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic minority leader of the House of Representatives. A meeting with Wes Moore, the governor of Maryland is also on Trudeau’s agenda.
