U.S. President Donald Trump is weighing in on domestic Canadian politics as his deadline to impose steep tariffs on Canada inches closer.
In an interview with The Spectator, Trump called Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland terrible and “a whack” — and claimed credit for her resignation as finance minister.
Trump also remarked on Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, saying that “his biggest problem is he’s not a MAGA guy.”
If the Poilievre team is smart they'll take this remark from Trump and blast it everywhere, with Poilievre saying:
"He's right, I'm not a MAGA guy, I'm not a Trump guy, I'm a Canada guy…" etc etchttps://t.co/xgnvVDtVa1 pic.twitter.com/HPabgOC3Bf
