Trudeau was all business in his post on Twitter about the meeting, however.
“Trade between Canada & California has created millions of middle class jobs and economic growth on both sides of the border,” he wrote. “My thanks to @GavinNewsom for a great discussion on how we can increase trade.”
Trudeau also met with Gov. Jerry Brown separately.

The trip was Trudeau’s first official visit to the city. While there, he promoted Canada as a potential place for tech firms frustrated by the U.S. immigration laws, according to The Associated Press.
