A clip of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau giving a curt but humorous response to a question about the shifting situation with tariffs is going viral online.
A reporter asked Trudeau how he would characterize the sudden tariffs reprieve from U.S. President Donald Trump, after Canada’s foreign minister called it all a “psychodrama”.
“Thursday,” replied Trudeau, to laughs.
This is a developing story and more information will be added shortly.
