Trump Declares Preference for Liberals Over Conservatives During Ottawa Visit

U.S. President Donald Trump recently commented on the upcoming Canadian election, expressing a preference for the Liberals over the Conservatives. During an interview on Fox News’s The Ingraham Angle, Trump asserted, "I’d rather deal with a liberal than a conservative," casting doubt on Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. Trump, who has imposed tariffs on Canadian goods and suggested Canada might become the 51st U.S. state, indicated he remains indifferent about the election’s outcome. He dismissed Poilievre as "no friend" and noted that recent polls show the Liberals, led by new Prime Minister Mark Carney, making a comeback against the Conservatives. Political analysts highlight the shifting dynamics as both parties gear up for the October 20 election.
