Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has criticized U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration over its trade and tariff policies, saying they are not working in the best interests of the American people.
Speaking Tuesday at Brown University in Rhode Island, Trudeau described the United States under the Trump administration as an increasingly unreliable partner.
