Canadian PM 'shuts off' Trump as press conference heads 'off the rails': CNN

Canadian PM 'shuts off' Trump as press conference heads 'off the rails': CNN

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-canada-2672378971/

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney interrupted question and answer session with Donald Trump at Monday's G7 summit before the U.S. president got too much into the weeds discussing ICE raids on "blue cities," according to CNN correspondent Kristen Holmes.

As Trump began to rehash his usual talking points, claiming former President Joe Biden allowed "murderers, killers, people from gangs, people from jails," into the United States, the Canadian leader — and host of the meeting which is being held in Alberta — stepped in.

"If you don't mind, just — I'm going to exercise my role, if you will, as G7 chair, since we have a few more minutes with the president and his team, and then we actually have to start the meeting to address some of these big issues," Carney said.

As the press yelled questions, and Trump appeared willing to talk more, the event was hurriedly ended.

I thought Canada has laws against allowing convicted felons into their country?

There really is a double set of standards in this country. It’s demoralizing, to say the least. That mofo belongs in jail, not at a G7 summit.
