Washington DC: United States President Donald Trump on Thursday (local time) launched a scathing attack at Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, stating that he is “using the tariff problem” with the US to run again for PM seat despite the “terrible job he has done for Canada.” The United States President stated that he was using the ‘tariff problem’ to run for the post, claiming that Trudeau himself had caused it.
“Believe it or not, despite the terrible job he’s done for Canada, I think that Justin Trudeau is using the Tariff problem, which he has largely caused, in order to run again for Prime Minister. So much fun to watch!” Trump stated in a post on his social media platform Truth Social on Thursday.
The United States implemented a 25 percent tariff on imports from Canada, citing Prime Minister Trudeau’s insufficient efforts to reduce the influx of the synthetic drug fentanyl into the U.S. In response, Trudeau imposed similar tariffs on U.S. imports. Earlier on Wednesday, Trump referred to Trudeau as the ‘Governor’ of Canada and mentioned that Trudeau had reached out to discuss the tariffs, with their conversation concluding on a relatively amicable note. Trump also noted that Trudeau was unable to provide information regarding the timing of the Canadian election.
“Justin Trudeau, of Canada, called me to ask what could be done about Tariffs. I told him that many people have died from Fentanyl that came through the Borders of Canada and Mexico, and nothing has convinced me that it has stopped. He said that it’s gotten better, but I said, “That’s not good enough.” The call ended in a “somewhat” friendly manner! He was unable to tell me when the Canadian Election is taking place, which made me curious, like, what’s going on here? I then realized he is trying to use this issue to stay in power. Good luck Justin!” Trump said on truth Social.
Trump stated that he informed the Prime Minister of Canada that the significant influx of fentanyl and “illegal immigrants” into the United States is a result of Trudeau’s “weak border policies.”
“For anyone who is interested, I also told Governor Justin Trudeau of Canada that he largely caused the problems we have with them because of his Weak Border Policies, which allowed tremendous amounts of Fentanyl, and Illegal Aliens, to pour into the United States. These Policies are responsible for the death of many people!” Trump added.
