Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre said U.S. President Donald Trump is right in saying that a Liberal government would be 'easier for him to deal with' amid the trade war.
Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre said U.S. President Donald Trump is right in saying that Liberals would be “easier for him to deal with” as a trade war between Canada and the United States continues.
In an interview with Fox News Tuesday night, Trump called Canada “one of the nastiest countries to deal with,” but added that he “would rather deal with a Liberal than a Conservative.”
“The Conservative that’s running is stupidly no friend of mine,” Trump said about Poilievre.
“He said negative things, so when he says negative things, I couldn’t care less.
“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.”
At a press conference in Sudbury, Ont., Poilievre responded to Trump’s remarks, touting himself to be a “strong leader” and a “tough guy.”
Poilievre said Trump wants to see the Liberals under the new Prime Minister Mark Carney stay in power because they “will keep this country weak.”
“Mark Carney will back down and his Liberal policies will keep Canada weak, just like Trump wants,” he told reporters.
