Donald Trump wasted no time in mocking Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday night after one of his most powerful and loyal ministers resigned from the Cabinet.
Trudeau, who Trump called ‘Governor’, was facing the biggest test of his political career after Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland sensationally quit after clashing with Trudeau on issues including how to handle possible U.S. tariffs.
‘The Great State of Canada is stunned as the Finance Minister resigns, or was fired, from her position by Governor Justin Trudeau,’ Trump posted on Truth Social on Monday night, jibing at the Canadian PM.
‘Her behavior was totally toxic, and not at all conducive to making deals which are good for the very unhappy citizens of Canada. She will not be missed!!!’
Freeland’s resignation dealt an unexpected blow to Trudeau’s already unpopular government. She announced her resignation in a candid letter shared on X, citing deep policy disagreements.
‘I have concluded that the only honest and viable path is for me to resign from the cabinet,’ she wrote, hinting at an irreparable rift with Trudeau over critical economic decisions.
The stunning move raised questions about how much longer the prime minister of nearly 10 years can stay on, as his administration scrambles to deal with incoming President-elect Trump.
