Trudeau’s travel costs to U.S. state dinner are in, Margaret Trudeau expenses excluded

The total for Mr. Trudeau’s White House visit was $12,824-less than the cost of an earlier high-profile foray into the U.S.—Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper’s 2014 visit to New York for one of his occasional speeches to the United Nations general assembly.
