Trump says Poilievre not a MAGA guy, calls Freeland a whack [Video]

U.S. President Donald Trump is weighing in on domestic Canadian politics as his deadline to impose steep tariffs on Canada inches closer.

In an interview with The Spectator, Trump called Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland terrible and “a whack” — and claimed credit for her resignation as finance minister.

Freeland, in a post on X, responded saying there was a reason for the president’s comments.

“There’s a reason Trump called me a ‘whack.’ There’s a reason he complained about my negotiating skills. There’s a reason Putin kicked me out of Russia, too,” she wrote. “I don’t back down — and Trump and Putin know it.”

Trump also remarked on Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, saying that “his biggest problem is he’s not a MAGA guy.”
