pm trudeau: -- please? pm trudeau: on wednesday of last week, i was surprised at his gambling problem. that was the first time at which i became aware of that and i understand my office became aware of that within a day or so prior to briefing me. in regards to police investigations, we were aware that the people were asking questions related to the india trip and the ethics investigation that was going on. but we had no information at that point that there was any connection to a gambling problem that we had no information on, and as always the rcp conducts its , investigations independently. [speaking french] >> so the rcmp started asking questions around mr. great wall i believe several questions that several months ago when he came to the india trip. did your office have concerns that a member of your caucus was being investigated by police? why not do something? pm trudeau: the rcmp conducts its investigations independently. and in the matter facing the ethics commissioner, we were confident that the e

pm trudeau: the rcmp conducts its investigations independently. and in the matter facing the ethics commissioner, we were confident that the ethics commissioner was doing their job. last question. reporter: caroline stauffer, reuters. what do you think the prospects are of the u.s. lifting steel and aluminum tariffs? are you concerned with them being long-term? pm trudeau: we continue to highlight the challenges posed by the tariffs on steel and aluminum and our countervailing duties on consumers and producers and businesses on both sides of the border. we know that tariffs represent a challenge to the free-trade that has been a tremendous source of success for canadians and for americans over the past decades. and we will continue to work with american members of congress and members of the administration to try to have those tariffs lifted. alsoter: president trump says he's thankful for low oil prices. do you have a response from canada? pm trudeau: i'm obviously concerned with the situation, particularly around the price differential facing ca

[applause] prime minister trudeau: good morning. thank you-all for being here and thank you to presidents trump and nieto. donald, thank you for your words and pulling this event together. enrique, this as donald said on your last day in office, it's a wonderful pleasure to see you and be here on this historic moment. [speaking french] the new north american free trade agreement maintains stability for canada's entire economy, stability that's essential for the millions of jobs and middle class families across the country that rely on strong, reliable trading relationships with our closest neighbors. that's why i'm here today. the new agreement lifts the risks of serious economic uncertainty that lingers throughout the trade renegotiation process. uncertainty that would have only gotten worse and more damaging had we not reached a new nafta. but when faced with this challenge, canadians came together and rolled up their sleeves. canadians from every order of government and walks of life put their country's interests first and worked

pm trudeau: >> the family of george h.w. bush. he was a great friend of canada.'d like to also begin by president macri of argentina for his leadership and stewardship of the g20 over the past 12 months.

pm trudeau: people, and to the family of george h.w. bush, he was a great friend of canada. i would like to also begin by congratulating president macri of argentina for his leadership and stewardship at the g20 over the past 12 months. it has been a very productive year. argentina focused on three priorities, which are priorities for us all, the future of work, infrastructure development, and sustainable food. these priorities aligned well with the g-7 summit last june,

you thought that i was justin trudeau?urse i didn't think that. >> you did. >> jimmy: i knew it was going to be you here. >> you thought i was the prime minister of canada that was about to walk out. >> jimmy: why would the prime minister of canada be here? this isn't canada, ridiculous. >> why would you have canadian flags draped behind you? >> jimmy: i love canada. i thought you loved -- i didn't know you hated canada so much. i wish i had known this. [ audience booing ] >> i don't hate canada. i love canada. >> jimmy: oh, well. then if you loved canada so much -- [ laughter ] >> welcome, mr. trudeau. would you like a tim horton doughnut? >> jimmy: wrong show, keep moving. come on, guys. >> the doughnut mounties. >> jimmy: the doughnut mounties. >> bonjour monsieur trudeau! >> jimmy: go away! leave the maple syrup. >> a maple syrup lumberjack. >> jimmy: i'm very sorry. there are too many justins to keep track of. let's have a little shot of maple syrup to pay tribute. what, the carbs you're worried about here? there's a

>> i'm not justin trudeau. >> jimmy: you're french, right? canada. >> jimmy: french canadian? >> originally, french, french, from toulouse. >> jimmy: is it right to say theroux? >> there are three ways. in the motherland, it would have been, and then i have cousins. they live if louie and they pronounce it ther-oo. and then in elementary school we just made it theroux. i don't know why that's a less beat up-able name. >> jimmy: did you just give up? >> they're calling role call. there's an x on the end so it was ther-oox. >> jimmy: i did not realize you'd been through so much. >> i know. if it was justin trudeau, it would have been true-dew. >> jimmy: your mother is italian though. >> she's a little english, italian, then i have italian and french on the other side. did i a whole 23 me thing. >> jimmy: did you. did you spit into it? >> yeah. >> jimmy: isn't it weird how hard it is to fill a tiny little thing with spit? >> the hard thing is remembering. you have to do it in the morning. when you first arrive. >> jimmy: right. and don't have an

you not only have foreign countries like japan weighed in now but also some foreign leaders justin trudeau the prime minister up there said he was aware of the arrest of the wild ways c.f.o. that it was going down what more do we know alex. a candidate was very instrumental in this. we know the main one joe she was travelling from hong kong to mexico had a layover in bed hoover and that's where she was arrested as trudeau said he was informed days ahead that this was going to happen but he's denying that the government had any involvement in this that it was a justice department thing according to trudeau the appropriate authorities took the decision in this case without any political involvement or interference so that's canada's story but there's a much bigger story here and i think one that's a lot more entertaining and really in the bigger scheme of things a lot more important is the fact that the national security adviser to donald trump john bolton knew that this was going to go down to he admitted it and basically he this went down as president of china. we're having steak together

. >> based on who you talk to among our closest allies, justin trudeau of canada, angela merkel, the german chancellor, theresa may, french president macron, how do they view this president? >> i read the papers like you do and all they do is wring their hands. they keep hoping in the end they can humor him, keep him under control. i mean, president macron of france tried to embrace him and invite him to a bastill day military parade that seems to impress the president. he's had poor relations with canada. prime minister trudeau, how can the american people accept the fact that we have the president of the united states that insults our canadian allies. i was in canada several weeks ago, the canadians were beside themselves about how trump is treating them. that's unacceptable. americans should resent the fact. it's one thing that the american people can say the president was just being the president. look, canadians are our number one ally in the world. >> next for the ambassador, deb in houston, texas, do you oppose this move by the president, good morning. >> caller: good morning.

arabia because of the show and the war in yemen now the contract was signed by prime minister justin trudeau his predecessor. the murder of a journalist is absolutely unacceptable that's why canada from the very beginning has been demanding answers and solutions on that secondly we inherited actually a fifteen billion dollar contract signed by steven harper to export light armored vehicles to saudi arabia we are in gauged with the export permits to try and see if there is a way of no longer exporting these vehicles to saudi arabia. relations between the two countries have been in crisis since august that's when saadi arabia expelled canada's and batter and severed all trade and investment ties to protest against criticisms about activists being locked up canada's foreign affairs department had tweeted canada is gravely concerned about additional arrests of civil society and women's rights activists in saudi arabia including some are but are we we are the saudi authorities to immediately release them and all other peaceful human rights activists some and even is a senior lecturer in internati

canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau says his government had no involvement in the arrest. advised by them, with a few days‘ notice, that this was in the works but, of course, there was no engagement or involvement in the political level in this decision because we respect the independence of ourjudicial processes. further to that, i have not had any direct or indirect conversation with any of my international counterparts on this. china's foreign ministry spokesperson says his country strictly adhered to all un security council resolutions, but opposes unilateral sanctions of the type which huawei is accused of violating. —— that. translation: i can't discuss the details of this case here, but what i can tell you is that after learning about it, we have made solemn representations to canada and the us. we've demanded that both parties immediately clarify the reasons for this detention, and that they immediately release the detainee to protect that person's legal rights. our business correspondent michelle fleury has more from new york. what we know so far is that huawei wh

out of a multibillion dollar military equipment deal with saudi arabia as i just mentioned justin trudeau is calling the murder acceptable and is demanding answers now he's working out how to cancel a contract for armored trucks it's all part of an eleven billion dollar deal made by the previous government relations have been tense since canada's and bassett was expelled earlier this year in a disagreement over human rights in the arab kingdom and the murder of a journalist is absolutely unacceptable that's why canada from the very beginning has been demanding answers and solutions on that secondly we inherited actually a fifteen billion dollar contract signed by steven harper to export light armored vehicles to saudi arabia we are in gauged with the export permits to try and see if there is a way of no longer exporting these vehicles to saudi arabia relations between the two countries have been at crisis point since august when these saudi when saudi arabia expelled candidates and severed all trade ties and investment ties to protest against criticisms about activists being locked up and

pm trudeau: i'm obviously concerned with the situation, particularly around the price differential facing canadian oil from alberta. we know one of the best ways of reducing that differential is to get a pipeline built to new markets done in the right way. the is why we are following blueprint put forward by the federal court of appeals. toalways our heart goes out families and communities that are suffering because of the challenges around oil prices. >> thank you. announcer 1: before he returned to washington, donald trump attended a dinner with president xi jinping. the leader spoke briefly to reporters as they arrived. thank you very much. it is a great honor. this will be an important meeting. we have also established an incredible relationship. --ant to thank the president on behalf of a man we all respect, and we very much appreciate that. we will be going back. i will be going back to , and i will be spending three days of mourning and three days of celebrity a really great man. we look forward to doing that. [indiscernible] jeb and george today. we had great conversations, and [i

think about canada with pretty guy trudeau. they might as well just name it after him he just bought. he talks about signing up with harris, but canada is a huge polluter of the -- and if the tar sands come online, it is pretty much game over. amy: just to be clear, when you said that trudeau bought. >> just to givive it the conont, about a year and a half ago, there were e five high fines proposeded out of the tar sands. tatasands is a landlocked mass sand that has some oil in it. super expensive stuff, really bad for the environment. one pipeline was called energy east. that was to go from alberta to new brunswick. the second pipeline was called a northern gateway. that was to go from alberta to the pacific coast. the third pipeline was called transmountain. can her morgan's transmountain. the fourth keystone in the fifth pipeline is called enbridge line three. five big hype lives to try to get oil out that is landlocked. if you look at what is happening, about a year and half ago, the energy east pipeline did not get approve

the guest on your program praising the socialists like macron and trudeau, i that he did not have the same objection whatever obama pulled the troops out of iraq. basically, trump is saving us as a nation from the deep state that is now being uncovered, rather than what we had is hillary and people like your guest were in control. host: thank you. guest: listen, i'm very proud of the position i take as an american who has spent my career fighting for our country and involved abroad as a diplomat, and in the intelligence area. the fact of the matter is i understand the weariness of people like yourself who feel the president is doing what is essential. whether you want to put labels on our allies, that is your prerogative. i think president macron and prime minister trudeau represent two of the greatest allies the american people could ever have. the situation in venezuela is totally out of control, and the president said maybe we will militarily intervene in venezuela. well, why don't you smoke on that one? it was the president who suggested to militarily intervene in venezuela. host:

i'm going to justin trudeau has expressed concern over two canadians detained in china last week saying his government is taking the situation very seriously. on sunday kind of as ambassador to china was finally caught had access to one of the detainees six days after his arrest trudeau says the arrests are politically motivated resulting from kind of being caught up in the ongoing trade war between beijing and washington. when the two largest economies of the world china and the united states start picking a fight with each other the escalating trade war between them is going to have all sorts of unintended consequences on canada and potentially on the entire global economy so we're very worried about that the arrested canadians are michael cole very diplomatic used to breaking china's ngo door and michael spade and entrepreneur with senior contacts in north korea reportedly including kim jong un. china arrested them citing alleged activities harmful to national security and the arrests come off the b.f. c.e.o. of chinese smartphone maker who our way was detained in kind of a merit his

justin trudeau is like, no, you sign that one. now, keep in mind, he has 12 letters in his name.onald j. trump. it's not, it's not enrique pena nieto, and there they're waiting again. [ laughter ] like he's cheating. let's rotate these around one more time. is this -- all right, there you go. now they're waiting for him to give them a head start. [ laughter ] and these guys are done, and justin trudeau just hangs out. [ laughter ] it's like he's coloring it in or something. [ laughter and cheers ] you know, i think, i think this might be why it took him two months to answer robert mueller's questions. [ laughter ] of course, no trip overseas would be complete without an awkward exchange with the world leaders. so they introduce -- >> the president of the united states of america. >> the president of the united states of america, donald trump. and you can see it already, he's mad that there's no big applause or anything like that. he's used to the rallies. but he greets the president of argentina. and while the photographers are taking pictures, they exchange pleasantries, they ta

these unilateral sanctions not illegal in canada but canada acting as a as a pliant puppet state trudeau went ahead all he had to do. if he really wanted to avert it was make a call to china and say hey don't drop by my country and a maritime because i don't really want an international incident and now he's bitten off more than nice to you because china is is by many measures now the world's largest economy and which canada is extremely you know you know dependent on as as most countries are becoming and as we speak about you know that this is not the trade deal that trump wants to make with the chinese the trade deficit only gets larger and it's not a levy it's getting larger this is after trying to browbeat trudeau with tariffs and the new new nafta and i want to shift gears something very important what's going on with the orthodox church in ukraine where all of the so-called conventional all day you will agree and also the church took place in kiev it was presided for some reason by president poroshenko talk to me about separation of i'll show you how to configure. yes a political f

i've become a great friend of mexico and prime minister, justin trudeau, who has also become a greatend. who has just been a battle and battles sometimes make great friendships. so it's really terrific. >> seth: look at his face. [ laughter ] absolutely nothing. that face is the closest thing canada has to a middle finger. [ laughter and applause ] in fact, on canadian television -- on canadian tv, that face is considered so obscene it has to be blurred out. [ laughter ] and even when someone does want to be friendly with trump, he messes it up. for example, he was supposed to take a photo with the president of argentina, but watch as trump walks away from the shoot early and is caught muttering off camera on a hot mic, while the president of argentina stands there awkwardly by himself. [ camera shutters ] >> get me out of here. >> seth: that's right. trump was caught on a hot mic saying "get me out of here." first of all, we're trying. [ laughter ] second, why?

on sunday canadian prime minister justin trudeau said in an interview with the c.t.v. network that he will quote try and see if canada can cancel a thirteen billion dollar order from saudi arabia for military equip. including cannon equipped armored assault vehicles made by the canadian subsidiary of general dynamics even that weak statement is a notable shift for mr trudeau the canadian leader who went to tober worried about what he said would be seven hundred fifty million dollars canadian or one billion u.s. dollars and cancellation penalties if the deal were next in november aid group save the children said eighty five thousand children in yemen have died from hunger and disease since a coalition led by saudi arabia attacked yemen in april twenty fifteen save the children also noted that a year after the u.s. supported saudi coalition imposed a blockade on yemen fourteen million people in that country are risk of famine. water scarcity around the world has been a problem for thousands of years it's been the cause of many conflicts and that continues today but there

stage so the new trade was really funny timing a one hour we got mr trudeau saying relations really good with china at the moment for us count as consent and then we also got trumpeters big trade was. saying well no it's going to be ninety day truce while they try and work things out it's all timing with to have this going on now isn't it with them with this this telecommunications company. well it is the it is very strange timing which leads me to believe trump the u.s. administration is gambling one of the things that the u.s. wants negotiate is the rules over technology abuse or use by the chinese so they might the deal discussed in when outsiders between see jinping and trump has not been signed yet so it perhaps hopes to use this card to weigh the how a card to force more concessions out of chinese companies the chinese government over the use of technology and the demand that companies doing business in china share their technology i got you we don't know if they're. going to work we gotta leave it there independent credible is thanks ever so much for your thoughts we're going to c

just trudeau who has a very different name for it he's basically calling it the new nafta and then we have the canadian ministry of global affairs there say it's the candidate us mexico agreement and then you have in mexico they did a little poll to see on twitter who do the people want there and that would be called teaneck so everybody's got a different name for the exact same agreements could be interesting to see how that plays out. hold through this with a log as i put my money on donald trump it's probably going to go his way hey alex just real real quick thirty seconds give me your grade for the president so far on trade and why thirty seconds you know i think we just heard some really interesting points there from steve and that is that whatever the democrats do now is probably going to go into effect into our pockets of the canadians and mexicans what they wanted in the first place. there's a lot more environmental stipulations a lot more protection for the labor force things that the rest of the people in the other the donald trump and his group wanted to see happen so that

who said on sunday he would try and see if he could cancel the deal mr trudeau had previously resisted pressure from human rights advocates to cancel the arms deal using general dynamics as current argument about possible cancellation penalties. it's now been over two months that former saudi journalist jamal khashoggi entered the saudi embassy crown prince mohammed bin solomon of saudi arabia president trump says there is no hard proof that the prince was personally involved but other world leaders disagree and the u.s. senate may force the president's hand to take some action senators from both sides of the. our public and the democrats alike were furious after receiving a briefing on that killing from cia director gina haskell back on december fourth here with morris conservative commentator steve malzberg steve thank you for being with us my pleasure could see of course so this is such a troubling story i mean because somebody is actually murdered and a journalist we both are are a journalist and that's uncomforting but i'm just curious after this briefing in the senate where ms ha

in addition to the temporary truce with china, justin trudeau and outgoing president nieto signed thesmca. >> we get rid of nafta. it caused tremendous amounts of unemployment and loss and company loss. that will be terminated. so congress will have a choice of the usmca or pre-nafta which worked well. >> each country's legislative bodies needs to approve the agreement before it goes into effect. >>> roger stone says he has never been in touch with wikileaks founder julian assange. a draft special counsel document indicating prosecutors are looking into his efforts to get documents from wikileaks ahead of the e-mail dump. >> stone tells abc news his e-mails about assange are being mischaracterized and he had no contact with robert mueller. >> does that suggest you are a target? you usually speak with witnesses first. >> it suggests nothing at all. again, where is the crime? i engaged in politics. >> democrat mark warner tells cnn he believes robert mueller will have a lot to reveal about the suspected ties with wikileaks and roger stone. >>> fbi director james comey agreed to sit with

supply armed armored vehicles to the kingdom and the agreement is were thirteen billion dollars but trudeau says saudi arabia's recent behavior can't go unanswered. the murder of a journalist is absolutely unacceptable that's why canada from the very beginning has been demanding answers and solutions on that secondly we inherited actually a fifteen billion dollar contract signed by stephen harper to export light armored vehicles to saudi arabia we are engaged with the export permits to try and see if there is a way of of no longer exporting these vehicles to saudi arabia a senior white house official says donald trump did not discuss an extradition deal for two no good men with turkey's president at the g. twenty summit it comes after the turkish foreign minister said trump had told the one he was quote working on extraditing the u.s. based muslim cleric turkey accuses couldn't of orchestrating its twenty sixteen failed coup is lived in self-imposed exile in the u.s. for nearly two decades the u.n. has confirmed two tunnels allegedly dug by hizbollah fighters in lebanon crossed the border i

thursday and they're not particularly accustomed to it and so when you put that alongside what mr trudeau'sbeen saying overnight and i think you have there in a very delicate position they're in a position they're not being particularly accustomed to over the past seventy years or so so yeah i think they're in a position where they're having to come out fighting it's important to remember that that only canada and germany have said that they are looking into it jimmy has done with regard to some aspects of military hardware and canada has said that it's looking into it but it faces a very serious financial fine if it pulls out of the deal unless that can be some some loopholes found the u.s. and u.k. still continue to sell arms and whilst there has been a degree of discussion about reneging on those deals and stopping those deals that hasn't really come to a proportion as yet so i think the saudis are managing to to keep calm stroll of these relationships for now but if the perch if the pressure continues to build then i think it's going to be a serious issue for them if more more steps sta
