Trudeau touts gender equality when asked about NATO spending shortfall

 

Justin Trudeau touted the pursuit of gender equality in the military as an alternative way of fulfilling NATO defense spending obligations.

 

โ€œWeโ€™re engaged in substantive ways but also ways that reflect our leadership,โ€ Trudeau said Tuesday at the NATO Engages town hall that prefaced the meeting of ally chiefs. โ€œThree of our top NATO leaders that are Canadians are actually women, incredibly qualified women, both in Rome, in the maritime fleet, and leading in Iraq. This is โ€” these are the kinds of things that Canada does by stepping up.โ€

 

Trudeau offered the explanation in response to a question about how Canada has been โ€œfalling way behindโ€ on the 2014 pledge that the allies would each spend 2% of their GDP on defense capabilities.

World leaders trash-talk Trump in private conversation

 

Justin Trudeau shared some thoughts about President Trump to other world leaders in a video that was taken during a reception in Buckingham Palace.

 

"He was late because he takes a 40-minute press conference off the top," Trudeau told a small group of world leaders that included French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson in video published on Twitter by Politics & Power. The comment was in reference to Trump kicking off the NATO summit in London with a tense press conference with Macron.

 

"You just watched his team's jaws drop to the floor," Trudeau added in the video clip. Trump called a Macron comment "nasty" during the press conference. He also went after France for having a "very high unemployment rate."
