Trump claims he would rather deal with liberals in Ottawa than conservatives”

U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he didn’t mind whether the Liberals won the upcoming Canadian election, saying: “I would rather deal with a liberal than a conservative.”

Trump has taken a tough stance on Canada, imposing tariffs on Canadian imports and repeatedly threatened to become the 51st state in the United States.

“I don’t care,” Trump replied. “I think it’s actually easier to deal with the liberals, maybe they’ll win, but I really don’t care. To me, that doesn’t matter.”

Trump then targeted Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.

“The running conservatives are stupid and don’t have my friends. I don’t know him, but he says negative things.” “I don’t care when he says negative things.”

Trump’s prior comments to conservative leaders, including assertions that Poilievre is “not Maga guy.”

Since Justin Trudeau was elected Prime Minister in 2015, the Liberals have been elected prime minister a few weeks ago, taking a certain defeat to the Conservatives in elections that must be held by October 20, and may happen earlier.

But the party is making a major comeback with new leader – recently sworn in Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Some recent polls have shown that liberals have closed the gap, even leading the Conservatives.

Liberals portray Poilievre as the same right-wing populist as Trump.

Faced with the U.S. threat, Poilievre adopted the slogan “Canada First” and tried to connect Carney to the former Trudeau administration.

Canada’s Conservatives and Canadian Liberals did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
