Protectionism of Europe, U.S. won’t spill into Canada, Trudeau says
HANGZHOU, CHINA—Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says there’s little risk that protectionist forces seen in the United States and Europe will spill over into Canada.
Trudeau made the remarks Monday at the end of the Group of 20 summit in China, where he urged fellow world leaders to fight back against growing anti-trade sentiments.
Speaking to reporters in Hangzhou after the G20, Trudeau said he believes Canadians in every demographic group broadly support positive engagement with the world.
“I’d be very careful and hesitant to apply situations that might be described in other countries to Canadians because we’ve seen Canadians are — and all demographic groups combined — generally open and positive and optimistic about the future,” Trudeau said.
On Sunday, International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland blamed growing anti-trade movements for complicating Canada’s free trade talks with Europe and negotiations on softwood lumber with the U.S.
During his second G20 since taking office, Trudeau said he had discussions on many different subjects with just about every leader, including U.S. President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
The Prime Minister’s Office says he had five sit-down meetings on the sidelines of the summit with British Prime Minister Theresa May, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the European Union, the OECD and Singapore.
His only formal bilateral meeting was with Chad’s President Idriss Deby Itno, who is also chair of the African Union.
