Meeting: Climate Change and Trump

meeting: We just had a very productive meeting with women business leaders from the United States and Canada, where we discussed how to secure everything that we know the full power of women can do better than anybody else,'' Trump told a joint White House news conference with Trudeau as they wrapped up their first face-to-face meeting, according to Huffington Post Canada. There was more than one elephant in the room as the pair shook hands and exchanged greetings dramatically different attitudes towards issues like refugees and climate change, to name but two. On Monday, there they were together Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. President Donald Trump saying they needed to find a way to get rid of the systemic obstacles to female participation in the workforce. Neither issue earned a mention in the joint communique released Monday; instead, the two leaders chose to emphasize the issue of empowering women. The measure along with roundtable talks that included the two leaders, his daughter Ivanka and prominent female entrepreneurs and CEOs was clearly designed as a win-win for both sides letting the prime minister broach a thorny issue with the president while helping Trump build badly needed political capital. They announced the Canada-United States Council for Advancement of Women Entrepreneurs and Business Leaders, a joint initiative to help women-owned businesses contribute to economic growth, competitiveness and the integration of the two economies.
