The Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, estimated Tuesday that a second presidency of Donald Trump, in the event that he is re-elected in the November elections, “will not be easy” for his country, which is why he is considering difficult relations with the United States if the former president returns to power. “The first time was not easy, I assure you, and if there is a second time, it will not be easy either. Do you want to be an optimistic nation committed to the future? Or will you choose hindsight, nostalgia for an era that never existed, a populism that greatly reflects the anxiety and fury that people experience without necessarily proposing solutions? “, he declared during the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal Although he admitted that he did not agree with certain ideas of Trump, he assured that during his mandate, he had been able to defend “ successfully” Canada's interests. Likewise, he added that working with the United States always has “challenges” because Washington generally puts its interests first. “It's always a big challenge to work with n “any American president, even with presidents like Barack (Obama) and Joe (Biden), with whom I have a lot in common,” he admitted. On the other hand, he said the choice Americans face is similar to that facing Europe and other parts of the world, which are suffering from democratic backsliding and declining support for democracy. In this sense, he indicated that Canada “is not immune to these trends” and affirmed that “within two years” there will be a similar option in the country. “Are we moving forward to defend democracy, our principles, continue to fight climate change, defend individual rights, defend minorities? Or are we going backwards because we are too angry about everything what is happening in the world around us?” asked. Trudeau made the statements a day after Trump swept the Iowa state Republican caucuses with more than 50 percent of the vote, leaving Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who received 21 percent, far behind. and the former United States Ambassador to the UN. , Nikki Haley, with 19 percent of support. According to this data, in November, Trump and current President Joe Biden will likely face off as presidential candidates in the race for the White House.
