Trudeau blames 'right-wing, American MAGA' after Canadian Conservative Party votes against Ukraine bill
Fox News
Trudeau said a 'rise of right-wing rhetoric' from the US caused conservative Canadians to vote against a trade agreement with Ukraine
"I've actually boasted . . . that it's not a political debate in Canada, all parties in Canada stand with Ukraine," Trudeau said at a press conference Friday. "So it is particularly troubling to see — even though we are seeing a rise of right-wing rhetoric in the United States with MAGA conservatives, across Europe, in certain corners of right-wing politicians and parties — starting to pull their support for Ukraine. Starting to parrot Russian disinformation and misinformation and propaganda." Thomas Phippen is an Editor at Fox News.
Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre earlier Friday said his party had voted against the agreement not because of flagging support for Ukraine, but out of concern it would saddle the war-torn country with a carbon tax.
Trudeau said that explanation was "an absurd excuse."
