Trump called Canadian PM Trudeau ‘two-faced’ then in the next breath, said he was a nice guy.
Trump claimed that PM Trudeau was upset at him because Trump called Trudeau out on his low NATO contributions and suggested setting up a payment plan for Canada to get them up to speed.
“I find him to be a very nice guy but you know the truth is that I called him out over the fact that he’s not paying 2% and I can see he’s not very happy about it,” Trump said at a news conference alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
“He’s not paying 2% and he should be paying 2%,” Trump added. “Canada – they have money. Look, I’m representing the U.S. and he should be paying more than he’s paying, he understands it … I can imagine he’s not that happy but that’s the way it is.”
