OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. President Donald Trump may meet in Washington, D.C. as early as next week, a Trump adviser said Tuesday. Speaking to CNN, Kellyanne Conway said: “I’m glad that the prime minister of Canada is coming here next year, next week excuse me. I’m sure they’ll talk about that, if he’s coming soon, as I understand.” (Watch the interview in the video above.) Conway was responding to CNN host Jake Tapper who wanted to know why Trump had not tweeted anything about the Quebec City mosque shooting victims.
