BBC World Service - World Business Report, Trump Meets Trudeau

Canada's Prime Minister is in Washington for his first meeting with the new US president

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a very different image to that of the new man in the White House. Trade is high on the agenda.

It's likely to be one of the more interesting of President Trump's bilateral meetings with world leaders. Mr Trudeau is a standard bearer for the liberal take on the modern world - welcoming to refugees, sensitive to minority rights, concerned about climate change. Right now, he is in discussions with President Trump, as the two men try to find common ground. For Canada, this is the country's most important and most risky international relationship. Meanwhile, a court in Austria has said no to a third runway at Vienna Airport, concerned about extra carbon emissions. We talk to our reporter in Austria, Bethany Bell. And Europe's steel industry is unhappy about prices for carbon emissions - so how can you create a fair and effective pricing system to reduce emissions?
