Trudeau Accuses Canadian Conservatives of Abandoning Ukraine Under MAGA Influence

The Prime Minister alleges right-wing American influence has led to a shift in Canada's stance on aid to Ukraine, amidst a growing divide on the issue in the U.S.

  • Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has blamed the influence of the American 'Make America Great Again' (MAGA) movement for a shift in Canadian conservatives' stance on aid to Ukraine.
  • Trudeau accuses Canadian conservatives of 'parroting Russian disinformation and propaganda' and turning their backs on Ukraine in its time of need.
  • Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and his party recently voted against legislation to update the Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement, citing opposition to the imposition of Canada's carbon tax.
  • Trudeau's comments come amid a growing divide in the U.S. over aid to Ukraine, with some Republicans pushing for an end to such assistance.
  • Canada is home to one of the largest Ukrainian diasporas in the world, and its conservatives were previously among the strongest defenders of Ukraine.
