Donald Trump as president can work with Canada despite Trudeau comments: Steve Forbes
MONTREAL — Comments made by Justin Trudeau to the United Nations on Tuesday shouldn’t prevent Donald Trump from working with the prime minister should he become U.S. president, says well-known American magazine publisher Steve Forbes.
Hours before the editor-in-chief of Forbes business magazine spoke to a conference of Quebec financiers in Montreal, Trudeau told the UN General Assembly in New York to reject politicians who exploit people’s fears and anxieties.
While never mentioning Trump by name, Trudeau has often criticized the Republican Party’s candidate for president since he became prime minister last year.
Last week during a panel discussion with London Mayor Sadiq Khan, in Montreal, Trudeau told the audience in a somewhat mocking tone he looks forward to working with whoever wins the U.S. presidency. The mayor’s response to the audience — “Does anyone believe that?” — triggered laughs from the crowd.
