This meeting confirmed in my mind that Canada is actually fairly well positioned to navigate the current US administration.  While they make enemies of Mexico and China, not to mention sending chills down the EU spine, we step in to fill the vacuum.  POTUS is running out of friends in the global community and being as celebrity-centric as he is, Trudeau appears an attractive ally.  Our balance of trade is even, so not much hay for the White House to make of that without unduly risking the downside.  As an added benefit, perhaps right leaning Canadians will even see the last 3 weeks of continuous chaos as a cautionary tale with regard to supporting any emerging copycat candidates amongst our Conservatives.
