Trump criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a post on Truth Social following a phone call with him. He accused Trudeau of attempting to use the tariff issue to maintain political power.

Trump stated that Trudeau had called him to ask what could be done to stop the tariffs, and Trump responded by mentioning the ongoing issue of fentanyl deaths linked to drugs coming through the Canada-Mexico border, noting that he wasn’t sure if the situation had improved.

Trump also said that Trudeau claimed there had been significant improvement, but Trump insisted that it wasn’t enough. Additionally, Trump inquired about the timing of Canada’s upcoming elections, realizing that Trudeau might be leveraging this issue to stay in power.
