"It's a remarkable time for the prime minister to be announcing that he's stepping down," said Delgado in an interview Monday with CBC News. "Within the context of Canada-U.S. relations, it really does not make a lot of sense." "If Canada merged with the U.S., there would be no Tariffs, taxes would go way down, and they would be TOTALLY SECURE from the threat of the Russian and Chinese Ships that are constantly surrounding them. Together, what a great Nation it would be!!!" Trump continued.Trudeau's decision to step down is bringing questions about how the government will handle any negotiations with the Trump administration.
Trudeau did not directly answer a question about whether the Liberal leadership contestants would be required to quit their post during the race.
