President Joe Biden met with Canada's prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week. Trudeau pledged to increase funding to improve the water quality in the Great Lakes.
Canada has pledged a significant increase in spending to improve water quality in the Great Lakes following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden, whose administration also has boosted funding for the shared waters.
The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River are the world's largest surface freshwater system, providing drinking water for some 40 million people and supporting a regional economy in eight U.S. states and two Canadian provinces.Trudeau's father, then-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, signed an agreement with President Richard M. Nixon in 1972 to restore and protect the lakes. It has been updated several times since.
Congress has authorized $425 million for fiscal year 2024. An additional $1 billion from Biden's bipartisan infrastructure law will be devoted largely to completing work on longstanding industrial site cleanups.
