Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a TV that “the idea that we are somehow a national security threat to the United States is quite frankly insulting and unacceptable.”
He added that “the idea that the Canadian steel that’s in military, military vehicles in the United States, the Canadian aluminum that makes your, your fighter jets is somehow now a threat?” And, “our soldiers who had fought and died together on the beaches of World War II… and the mountains of Afghanistan, and have stood shoulder to shoulder in some of the most difficult places in the world, that are always there for each other, somehow — this is insulting to them.”
