Trump Questions Trudeau’s Political Motives Washington: Former US President Donald Trump has accused Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of exploiting trade tensions to prolong his political influence.
In a social media post on Wednesday, Trump claimed that Trudeau was unable to confirm the date of Canada’s upcoming election, which raised suspicions about his intentions.
Trump’s Accusation on Trade Dispute Trump alleged that Trudeau is using the ongoing tariff dispute between Canada and the US as a strategic move to maintain control.
“Trudeau 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,” Trump wrote.
Trudeau’s Leadership Transition Justin Trudeau, who announced his resignation in January, is set to step down after a Liberal Party leadership contest this weekend, where his successor will be chosen.
The Canada-US trade dispute has been a contentious issue, with both leaders taking firm stances. Trump’s remarks add a new layer of political intrigue as Canada prepares for a leadership transition.
