Canada's Trudeau to get red carpet treatment during White House visit

By Roberta Rampton
WASHINGTON, Dec 8 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama will
roll out the red carpet for a planned visit next year by
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, hosting a formal state
dinner for the new leader, the White House said on Tuesday.
Obama and Trudeau met for the first time in Manila at a
summit last month, and discussed a bilateral meeting at the
White House early in 2016.
But the meeting will also include the pomp and pageantry of
a state dinner, a lavish honor that the Obama White House has
extended to only a small, select group of world leaders who have
come to Washington.
The White House has not yet announced a date for the dinner.
Trudeau vowed to put a priority on improving Canada's
relationship with its neighbor after ties were strained over
energy and climate issues during the tenure of former Prime
Minister Stephen Harper, whom he defeated in October.
The last White House state dinner for a Canadian leader was
in 1997, when President Bill Clinton hosted Prime Minister Jean
Chretien.
Trudeau's father, Pierre Trudeau, was invited to two White
House state dinners during his time as prime minister - by
President Gerald Ford in 1974 and by President Jimmy Carter in
1977.
