The US President accuses the Canadian Prime Minister of striving for striving to use a tariff issue to extend his time.
The United States President Donald Trump has repeated the unfounded claims that the output Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is seeking to use US tariffs against Canada to extend his time on service, As the rift expands between the two sides.
In a social media publication on Thursday, Trump said he believed that Trudeau was “using the tariffs problem, which he had largely caused to run again for the Prime Minister.”
“So much fun to watch!” The US president writes.
The remark follows a similar publication that Trump shared on his Truth social website on Wednesday, accusing Trudeau of using commercial tensions as a way of “remaining in power”.
“He failed to tell me when the Canadians election took place, which made me curious, like, what was going on here? Then I realized that he was trying to use this problem to remain in power. Good luck Justin! “Trump wrote.
The tension has grown between the two leaders after Trump first threatened at the end of last year to impose steep Canadian goods if the Trudeau government did not do more to overcome irregular migration and drug trafficking across its border with the United States.
This week's Trump Administration followed its plans and imposed 25 % rates On most Canadian imports, as well as 10 percent deposits on oil and gas.
Canada replied, announcing that it would apply 25 % rates for $ 106 billion ($ 155 billion) worth American goods. The $ 21 billion tariffs ($ 30 billion) have entered an immediate effect on Tuesday.
“It's a very dumb thing,” Trudeau told reporters on Tuesday at US measures, which he described as an unjustified trade war against Canada.
Trudeau who has been Canada Prime Minister Since 2015, it has been intended to withdraw as the leader of the Governing Liberal Party after choosing its next leader on Sunday.
Thehe New leader is expected to assume the obligations of the Prime Minister after a short transitional period.
Asked during a press conference on Thursday whether he will consider remains as a Prime Minister in the role of a viewer to help manage the uncertainty about the US tariffs, Trudeau replied: “No. I will not be. “
He added: “I look forward to the transition to my duly selected heir in the coming days or a week.”
Meanwhile, some experts in Canada have said that Trudo's attack on Trudeau has emphasized his ignorance of the country's political system.
Stewart Perrst, a professor of political science at the University of British Colombia, said on social media that the US president's remarks are “reckless disregard for the Canadian democratic system.”
“To be clear, Trudeau will retreat after the race for liberal leadership,” Pest wrote on the social media platform Bluesky on Wednesday.
According to the Canadian Electoral Rules, the next federal elections must be held until October 20.
But liberals as a government party may choose to activate a vote before.
The elections can also be called earlier if opposition parties pass a vote of confidence in Canada Parliament, which is to be resumed on March 24th.
As is now, no formal election date has been set.
“The parliamentary democracy is fascinated by the US presidential system, with fixed election dates,” Pest explained.
“This is deliberate as it is much easier to get rid of a leader who is either unfit or unpopular – or both.”
Many experts speculate that liberals can choose to call a vote shortly after their next leader is selected in an attempt to take advantage of a recent rise in public support.
At the beginning of the year, the liberals lagged behind the opposition conservatives with as much as 26 percentage points.
But Trudeau's decision to resign – combined with the race to choose a replacement as a leader of Trump's liberals and threats against Canada – helped The party bounces back In the ballot box.
