TIL Desk/World/Washington/ US President Donald Trump described Justin Trudeau as “two-faced” after the Canadian prime minister was caught on camera apparently mocking him. “He’s two-faced,” Trump told reporters on the sidelines of the NATO summit, saying he had called out Trudeau on defence spending “and he’s not very happy about it”.
Trudeau was picked up by microphones at a Buckingham Palace reception for NATO leaders on Tuesday evening apparently laughing about an impromptu press conference Trump did earlier. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson can be heard asking France’s President Emmanuel Macron: “Is that why you were late?”
Canada’s
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau interjects: “He was late because he takes a
40 minute press conference off the top.” In the video, Macron appears to
tell an anecdote about the encounter as Britain’s Princess Anne and Dutch Prime
Minister Mark Rutte look on, but the French leader has his back to camera and
he is inaudible amid the hubbub.
