Trudeau critical of Trump attack on US congresswomen
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hit out Monday at US President Donald Trump's Twitter remarks telling US congresswomen of colour to "go back" to where they came from.
"That is not how we do things in Canada," Trudeau said when asked about Trump's comments.
"A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian. And the diversity of our country is actually one of our greatest strengths and a source of tremendous resilience and pride for Canadians."
In comments widely condemned as racist in the US media and by Democratic opponents, Trump accused congresswomen who "originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe" of "viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run."
