Trump calls Trudeau 'two-faced' after the Canadian prime minister was caught mocking him behind his back
President Donald Trump has called Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau "two-faced" after Trudeau was caught on camera mocking him behind his back.
Trudeau was videoed making fun of Trump's 40-minute press conference at the NATO summit in front of French President Emmanuel Macron, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, and Princess Anne on Tuesday.
In response, Trump told reporters on Wednesday at a press conference:
"Well he's two-faced. And honestly with Trudeau he's a nice guy - I find him to be a very nice guy - but the truth is that I called him out on the fact he's not paying 2% and I guess he's not very happy about it," in reference to his urging Canada to pay 2% of its GDP to NATO's defense budget.
"It's Canada, they have money, and they should be paying 2%. I called him out on that and I'm sure he wasn't happy about it, but that's the way it is."
"Look, I'm representing the US and he should be paying more than he's paying and he understand that. I can imagine he's not that happy, but that's the way it is," he added.
