US President Trump Slams Canada, Calls It ‘A Nasty Country To Deal With’

<p>Amid the ongoing trade war between US and Canada, President Donald Trump on Tuesday called Canada ‘a nasty country to deal with’.</p>
<p>Trump also took potshot at the former prime minister of Canada Justin Trudeau.</p>
<p>In an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Trump said, “One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada. Now, this was Trudeau &mdash;good old Justin. I call him ‘Governor Trudeau.’ His people were nasty and they weren’t telling the truth.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trump, who began his second term as US President in January this year, has repeatedly threatened to make Canada the ’51st US state.’&nbsp;</p>
<p>When Laura Ingraham pointed out that his treatment of Canada could propel the governing Liberals to win the next election and lead a government that is hostile to the US, Trump said, “I don’t care. I think it’s easier to deal, actually, with a Liberal and maybe they’re going to win, but I don’t really care. It doesn’t matter to me at all.”</p>
<p>Trump then took aim at Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre, who is running to be Canada’s prime minister.</p>
<p>”The conservative that’s running is, stupidly, no friend of mine. I don’t know him, but he said negative things,” he said. “When he says negative things, I couldn’t care less.”</p>
<p>The Liberals, who have been in power since Trudeau was elected PM in 2015, just weeks ago looked headed toward certain defeat to the Conservatives in the<br />election, which must be held by October 20 but could happen earlier. But they are mounting a major comeback after Trudeau stepped down and Mark Carney, a former central banker, was elected by the Liberals as their leader. Several recent opinion polls have shown the Liberals closing the gap or even ahead of the Conservatives.</p>
