The two leaders have previously spoken on the phone, but this will be their first in-person meeting. Several of Trudeau’s ministers traveled to Washington, D.C. in the past week to meet with the Trump administration and prepare for the talk, according to [CBC News](http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-trump-meet-monday-washington-1.3973964). Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway also [told CNN](http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2017/02/07/kellyanne-conway-trudeau-trump-visit-next-week%5Fn%5F14636374.html) on Tuesday that Trudeau would come to the White House “next week.” Trump and Trudeau — a self-described feminist who [tweets welcome messages](https://twitter.com/JustinTrudeau/status/825438460265762816) to refugees and has championed trade deals — seem to have little in common politically, but their meeting has been highly anticipated. The Canadian prime minister talked to other world leaders about how best to engage with Trump ahead of this first meeting, [the Guardian reported](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/feb/08/justin-trudeau-world-leaders-visit-donald-trump) this week. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4665606/donald-trump-justin-trudeau-white-house-visit/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4665606/donald-trump-justin-trudeau-white-house-visit/"},"headline":"Justin Trudeau Will Meet President Trump at the White House","datePublished":"2017-02-09T17:40:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:49:12.376Z","description":"The leaders have previously talked on the phone","url":"https://time.com/4665606/donald-trump-justin-trudeau-white-house-visit/","keywords":["White House","Donald Trump","Justin Trudeau","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9f3e9b384f8677a6/6988b9884dd21570a7efdb12/justin-trudeau-donald-trump-meeting-white-house.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Abigail Abrams","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/abigail-abrams/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9f3e9b384f8677a6/6988b9884dd21570a7efdb12/justin-trudeau-donald-trump-meeting-white-house.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Funeral ceremony held for Quebec mosque shooting victims","caption":"Funeral ceremony held for Quebec mosque shooting victims","creditText":"Seyit Aydogan—Anadolu Agency/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/white-house/","name":"White House"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4665606/donald-trump-justin-trudeau-white-house-visit/","name":"Justin Trudeau Will Meet President Trump at the White House"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Justin Trudeau's Greatest Hits","description":"A mash up of Justin Trudeau's best moments.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/uXLetYBN/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2016-03-10T21:06:07.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/uXLetYBN.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4665606/donald-trump-justin-trudeau-white-house-visit/","duration":"PT1M53S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4665606/donald-trump-justin-trudeau-white-house-visit/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
