Trudeau, in a post on social media X on Saturday, said he looked forward to the two working together.
“Thanks for dinner last night, President Trump. I look forward to the work we can do together, again,” Trudeau said.
The prime minister’s office did not respond to a request for comment about the meeting.
A Canadian government official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told Reuters that it was a positive, wide-ranging dinner that lasted three hours.
On Friday, Trudeau said at a news conference in Canada he was taking the possible tariffs seriously.
“Donald Trump, when he makes statements like that, he plans on carrying them out,” he said.
Many economists have warned Trump’s plan to impose tariffs on imports will increase costs for US consumers.
Trump has said tariffs on trading partners will help protect US manufacturers and boost domestic job growth.
In a separate post, Trump called on the so-called Brics countries to commit to not creating a new currency or supporting another currency over the US dollar.
If those countries do so they will face “100% tariffs”, Trump said.
Brics refers to original members of the intergovernmental group of economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
It also includes Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates.
“We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new Brics currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty US dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful US. Economy,” Trump wrote.
