Let me pause here and address the United States, directly. As the Prime Minister said last
week: Canada is deeply disappointed by the decision by the U.S. federal government to
withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate.
That said, we will continue to seek opportunities for constructive progress on the
environment, wherever we can find them, with our counterparts in Washington and across
the great United States, at all levels of government and with partners in business, labour and
civil society.
• You need to be careful on how you call your largest trading partner in speeches
• Much of the USA foreign policy which Ms. Freeland condemned was under Obama watch.
• Obama pulled troops out of Iraq
• Obama never dealt with Syria issue

10. Foreign Policy – Justin Trudeau
 Castro/Cuba – Trudeau praised Castro. Castro was a dictator that killed people. People around the world

condolences-1.3869280
 Trudeau restored funding to Hamas - http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/unrwa-funding-palestinian-

 Trudeau and his government were not invited to ISIS meetings -
http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-not-invited-isis-paris-meeting-1.3409420. Liberal spin was

 Trudeau said he would tell Putin off over the Ukraine - http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2016/06/22/trudeau-putin-nato-

 G-7 did not buy Trudeau’s need for deficit spending - http://business.financialpost.com/fp-comment/the-g7-didnt-buy-
trudeaus-big-deficit-growth-plan-neither-should-we. So, if Trudeau has such an influence then why did G-7 balk at his idea
on deficit spending?
 Trudeau is called a “little potato by china” http://globalnews.ca/news/2923202/justin-trudeau-earns-nickname-little-potato-

 UN needs to go back to its original mandate and not try to push one world
government
 There are nasty people in the world as such they have to be dealt with as part of
foreign policies
