This blog is closing now, but we’re continuing our coverage of the aftermath of the US presidential election on our new live blog here.
Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau has spoken with Trump in a phone call during which he congratulated the president-elect on his victory and discussed trade and security in the region.
The Canada, US and Mexico trade agreement, which was negotiated in Trump’s first term was among the topics discussed, Trudeau’s office said in a statement, adding they spoke about their “shared interest in secure and reliable supply chains and addressing unfair trading practices in the global economy.”
The pair “agreed to stay in close contact”, the statement said.
