Welp, The US-Canada Relationship Is Quickly Turning To Shit

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said there was a "special place in hell" for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Relations between the US and Canada continued to deteriorate on Sunday as two of President Donald Trump's top advisers accused Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of "stabbing us in the back” and making the US look weak before high-stakes negotiations with North Korea.

It comes after Trump blew up two days of negotiations at the G7 in Quebec, announcing via Twitter on Saturday night that he would not sign a communique agreed to by the leaders at the summit in protest against what he said was "false statements" made at a press conference by Trudeau, whom Trump described as "very dishonest and weak."

But US National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow, who was at the summit, said Sunday that Trudeau, not Trump, was to blame.

“He really kind of stabbed us in the back. He did a great disservice to the whole G7,” Kudlow said on CNN.

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro also attacked Trudeau, using even more inflammatory language. "There’s a special place in hell for any foreign leader that engages in bad faith diplomacy with President Donald J. Trump and then tries to stab him in the back on the way out the door," he said, "and that’s what 'bad faith Justin Trudeau' did with that stunt press conference."

I am sure Obama did long ago. This is only about Trump and he is not all of the U.S. and our relations with Canada. Clearly, everyone is saying, this is only Trump. We recognize the stupid.

All the while blaming Canada for starting the fight.

Typical bully behavior.

Lashes out instead of using his words. Thing is, I doubt he has the words needed to express his frustrations - because lashing out always worked to get his way, even when that was not what he needed. Especially then.

And if the NK dictator isn't a total idiot like our prez he ain't gonna give up his nukes ala the “Libya model” because step two in that scenario is we invade his country and kill him!

Soooo they didn't do what was a no effect signing and then blamed someone else for what they didn't do. Trump runs away to his plane to look at porn and/or contact Putin then tweets policy (seriously he tweeted it) and his minions run out to frey the most solid alliance we have - Canada is closer than England - blaming the good looking guy.

Fucking children.

And yet, they continue to give them a platform to spout their LIES. You are a puppet CNN. Shame on you for spreading lies.
