TEHRAN (Tasnim) Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a loser who is ruining the country with radical left policies, US President Donald Trump has claimed.
- Other Media news -Trump previously threatened to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian goods and suggested that Canada would be better off as the 51st state of the United States, RT reported.
The war of words between Trump and Trudeau continued after a hockey game between US and Canadian teams in Boston, during which Canadian fans booed the US national anthem. Canada won 3-2 in overtime, after which Trudeau took to social media to taunt Trump. You cant take our country and you cant take our game, he wrote on X.
In an interview with Fox Newss Brian Kilmeade the following day, Trump was asked to respond to Trudeaus remarks. Justins a loser. Always has been, Trump said, arguing that Trudeau has destroyed Canada with radical left and Marxist policies.
We have a good relationship with Canada, not with Justin. Because hes too far radical left, hes killing Canada. Canada is doing terribly, Trump said. He went on to argue that Trudeau would lose the upcoming federal election if he decided to run again.
Looks like hes not going to run. Thats a smart move because he wouldnt have a chance of winning, Trump claimed.
Trudeaus approval rating dropped from 60% in 2015, when he took office, to 22% in December 2024. Last month, Trudeau announced that he would step down as Liberal Party leader and prime minister, citing the need for new leadership ahead of the election. He confirmed that he would be seeking re-election.
Earlier this month, Trump agreed to delay the imposition of tariffs on Canada for 30 days, giving more time for negotiations. He has repeatedly argued that Canada would benefit economically if it got absorbed by the US. Ottawa has rejected the idea, with Trudeau saying that Canada will never be the 51st state.
