Why is Trudeau snubbing a meeting with Trump in Washington?

Prime Minister Trudeau won't be attending a meeting held in Washington and one political analyst thinks it may be a way of signaling Canada's displeasure over U.S. President Trump's latest threats to levy steel tariffs.

Michael Geoghegan says however the reason could be that the U.S. has completely failed to control COVID-19 and the prime minister is concerned about having to self-isolate along with his staff upon returning home.

    1. @Richard C Richard Canada can do business with China. You want all your McDonald’s all your companies back you can go to China if that’s the country you decide to make your trade agreements with. Are we McDonald’s China Walmart China great you’ll basically have to go through them to get your company back in Canada. So basically the Chinese would own you. That would be cool Canada owned by the Chinese government will be probably a lot better

  1. He has to answer for his third ethics breach and explain to Canadians where all the project money has gone!!

  2. The PM would not be traveling alone. All his staff would be taking a risk and also have to self isolate.

    1. Excuses excuses. If world leaders can’t figure it out then they have no business telling others what to do.

  3. Hes not going to a high level meeting because of Covid? Does anyone actually believe that nonsense?

  4. Trudeau has been hiding in his cottage doing a version of groundhog day. Everyday he walks out of his cottage & announces more spending.

  5. He is very busy hiding cash in suitcases and at the cottage as he’s under another ethics investigation…number 3 or 4?

    1. @Chris Hooge can you speak in front of 10000 for an hour an half? no then sit down and be the vegetable this time
