Trudeau committed to working alongside the new U.S. administration to tackle challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic and recovering the economy.

He also spoke of fighting climate change, promoting inclusion and diversity, and “contributing to democracy, peace, and security at home and around the world.”

The Canadian Liberal leader concluded his message by saying he was looking forward to working with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trudeau isn’t the only one to have shared well-wishes with the new American leaders.
