Canada on Trump advisers' attacks on Trudeau: Ad hominem attacks aren't 'appropriate or useful'

Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland responded to attacks by two of President Trump’s advisers on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Sunday, saying that Canada doesn’t find attacks “appropriate or useful.”

"Canada does not believe that ad hominem attacks are a particularly appropriate or useful way to conduct our relations with other countries,” Freeland said at a press conference Sunday.

She also said that Canada is "very measured" and that country officials "use fact-based arguments."

Freeland was responding to a question about White House National Trade Council Director Peter Navarro’s direct attack on Trudeau earlier Sunday.
