At least one Dem leader has some balls. Calls out Trudeau

Sunday a Democratic Representative from Illinois surprisingly sided with President Donald Trump in the White House’s ongoing war of words over tariffs with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

“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,” Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi said in a statement.

Krishnamoorthi, who represents Illinois’ 8th District, said Trudeau’s comments will only hurt the long-term relationship between the United States and Canada.

“As a representative of Illinois, a state with one of the most important trade relationships with Canada, I have every desire to see our negotiations with Canada continue productively and beneficially, but Prime Minister Trudeau is sabotaging that cause by driving both sides into their corners instead of encouraging a more diplomatic dialogue,” Krishnamoorthi said. “Prime Minister Trudeau may reap some political benefit through feuding with President Trump, but by engaging with the President on the terms he has so far, instead of on mutually productive ones, he is imperiling the economic well-being of millions of Canadians and Americans."
