U.S. President Donald Trump said today that he’ll do whatever he can to help Canada in its ongoing diplomatic dispute with China. Trump made the remarks during a meet-and-greet in the Oval Office with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau today in advance of talks on ratifying the newly renegotiated North American Free Trade Agreement. “Anything I can do to help Canada, I will be doing,” Trump said. Asked if he would bring up China’s imprisonment of Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor when he meets with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump said that, “at Justin’s request, I will absolutely bring that up.”
RAPTORS TO THE WHITE HOUSE?
Trump was also asked if he would follow a tradition of inviting the NBA champions to the White House — this year the Toronto Raptors — and he said he would think about it.
