Trump snubs Trudeau, says he's too busy to meet him even though he finds time to hold private talks with British, French counterparts
Despite having over five hours of free time on his schedule, US President Donald Trump could not accommodate Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at UN on Monday
President Donald Trump snubbed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Tuesday while setting aside time for talks with the British prime minister, the French president and the Egyptian president and said he would not be able to meet Trudeau because of "compressed schedule."
The Canada and US leaders had a falling out last June after the G7 summit in Charlevoix over Trump's tariffs on steel and aluminium. Trudeau, shortly after the summit, had held a press conference and slammed Trump's tariffs when the Republican was on his way to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Singapore for a summit.
