President Donald Trump congratulated Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on his narrow re-election victory: 'Canada is well served.'
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau managed to narrowly hold onto power on Monday, winning a minority government after an incredibly tight election race.
While Canadians might have had mixed feelings about Trudeau securing a second term, in the neighboring United States, President Donald Trump appeared to be satisfied with the Liberal leader's victory. Trump's offer of congratulations came despite an oft-tumultuous relationship between the two world leaders, marked by tense trade negotiations and tariffs.after the prime minister said Canadians would not be"pushed around" by the U.S., following Trump's tariffs on Canada's aluminum and steel.said there was a"special place in hell" for TrudeauWhile Trudeau could have played up his handling of trade talks with the U.S.
"We were able to stand up when he wanted to tear up a trade deal that Windsor, indeed all Canadians, rely on," Trudeau said. One American who will likely be celebrating Trudeau's election victory is former President Barack Obama, who offered the Canadian PM a last-minute endorsement just days before Monday's vote.
