On Wednesday, Trump took to his own social media platform, Truth Social, to say he had a conversation with Canada’s prime minister on what can be done about the levied tariffs, which started earlier this week.
“Justin Trudeau, of Canada, called me to ask what could be done about Tariffs,” Trump wrote. “I told him that many people have died from Fentanyl that came through the Borders of Canada and Mexico, and nothing has convinced me that it has stopped.”
Trudeau said “it’s gotten better,” according to Trump, to which he replied, “That’s not good enough.” Trump said the call ended in a “‘somewhat’ friendly manner” while claiming Trudeau was unable to tell him when the Canadian election will be held.
“I then realized he was trying to use this issue to stay in power,” he said. “Good luck Justin!”
