Rhode Island Governor says Trudeau to attend governors’ summit
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo says she expects Justin Trudeau to meet with the U.S. governors at a summer summit in Rhode Island, but the Prime Minister’s Office couldn’t confirm his attendance.
The Democratic governor is hosting the three-day Providence summit of the National Governors Association. It begins July 13.
Raimondo said Wednesday that “Justin Trudeau is coming.” Reporters expressed surprise and Raimondo said, “maybe I just made news.”
Trudeau’s office said the prime minister has been invited to the gathering of the bipartisan governors’ group, but it couldn’t yet confirm if he will attend.
