Trudeau to attend APEC in Peru, G20 summit in Brazil as peer nations brace for Trump

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has arrived in Lima, Peru, where he will attend the APEC summit before heading to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for the G20.

Both summits aim to improve the multilateral institutions that have drawn skepticism from U.S. president-elect Donald Trump.

In Peru, Trudeau will take part in meetings of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation group, which largely involves resolving barriers to trade and forming better links across the Pacific Rim.

On Sunday, the prime minister will leave for Brazil for the G20 summit, for discussions ranging from the war in Ukraine to artificial intelligence and ending hunger.
