EDIT
Sources with direct knowledge of the call said that while the primary focus was the pandemic, the two men also discussed the bilateral trade relationship and the Buy American policy, China and the prolonged arbitrary detention of Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, the Keystone XL pipeline and participation in international bodies.
An official readout on the call from the PMO said Trudeau was the first international leader to speak with the president-elect. "The prime minister and the president-elect agreed on the importance of the unique Canada-U.S. partnership and committed to work together to fight the global COVID-19 pandemic and to support a sustainable economic recovery in both countries and the hemisphere," said the readout.
"The two leaders looked forward to cooperating on the fight against climate change, on migration and on global security, and to working closely together within NATO and the G7. They also agreed on the importance of addressing anti-Black racism."
Biden's office also issued a readout of the call saying that the president-elect looks forward to working closely with Trudeau on combating the pandemic and advancing "global health security and resilience against future biological threats." The statement said Biden wants to revitalize bilateral economic ties and the broader North American partnership, and to "deepen collaboration with Canada" to address hemispheric migration, strengthen NATO and stop climate change.
