OTTAWA (Reuters) – The United States and Canada pledged to work together on several issues, including migration, defense and security, the two countries said on Friday after a meeting between U.S. President Joe Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Canada and the United States also acknowledged “the serious long-term challenge to the international order posed by the People’s Republic of China, including disruptive actions such as economic coercion, non-market policies and practices, and human rights abuses,” the two countries said in a joint statement.
