Trump economic adviser: Trudeau 'stabbed us in the back'
The Hill ^ | 06/10/18 | Brett Samuels

White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow on Sunday tore into Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for “double crossing” President Trump with critical comments about U.S. trade policy.

“He was polarizing. He really kind of stabbed us in the back,” Kudlow said in strikingly critical remarks during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“He did a great disservice to the whole [Group of Seven (G-7)],” he added.

Kudlow specifically took issue with Trudeau's comments at a post-summit press conference, and repeatedly called the Canadian's actions a "betrayal."

In a press conference after Trump departed for Singapore ahead of his Tuesday meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Trudeau said Canada would move forward with retaliatory tariffs, saying Canada will "not be pushed around."

In response, Trump attacked Trudeau on Twitter, calling him “dishonest & weak.”

Kudlow called Trudeau’s press conference a “sophomoric, political stunt for domestic consumption.”

“President Trump played that process in good faith. So, I ask you: He gets up in the airplane and leaves, and then Trudeau starts blasting him at a domestic news conference? I am sorry, that’s a betrayal. That’s a double cross.”

Turdeau will regret this. He’s as far out of his league as Obama was.

I watched Trudeau's speech in real time as he gave it.....couldn't hardly believe he was backstabbing Trump as he did. His arrogance was high for the coward he was not speaking this face to face with Trump! It was a terrible display of a wimp trying to look tough....further Trump agreed to the "communique" out of good faith yet Trudeau isolated Trump from it when he spoke.....

This is what a two-faced backstabbing coward looks like in action

Trudeau said “Canada will not be bullied or insulted, July 1st will tariff us products in response to affecting Canadian workers in steel and aluminum. etc. So he’s going to match our tariffs July 1st..........in Nafta...There will ‘not’ be a sunset clause that expires every five years.
