Democrat Congressman Backs Trump In Trade Dispute With Trudeau

DC: Illinois Democratic Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi joined President Donald Trump and White House advisers in blasting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for feuding with Trump during the G7 summit, in a statement released Sunday.

“While I have serious concerns about President Trump’s approach to trade talks with Canada, Prime Minister Trudeau has placed our trade relationship with Canada at risk by publicly feuding with President Trump on the world stage,” Krishnamoorthi said in a statement posted on his website.

The Democratic congressman said Trudeau is “sabotaging” world leaders instead of coming to a consensus on trade. Krishnamoorthi’s comments come as Trudeau criticized Trump after he left the G7 summit, saying that Canada would retaliate if the U.S. does not remove the recently implemented tariffs. Trudeau trashed Trump’s decision to place tariffs on steel and aluminum from U.S. allies, calling it “insulting.”  more

  1. Thank you, Mr. Krishnamoorthi, for putting partisanship aside on this issue. I hope you’ll consider doing so on other important national matters.

    Trudoh should be forcibly recused from further trade talks.

  2. “Trudeau has placed our trade relationship with Canada at risk by publicly feuding with President Trump on the world stage,”

    IOW, Trudeau behaved just like they keep telling us that Trump is going to behave. Someday. You’ll see.

  3. Democratic Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi… wasn’t he the only democrat who sat in on Priestep interview? Maybe he’s smart enough to get out in front and break from the pack.
