RUSH EXCERPT:

TRUDEAU: "We’ve watched this president operate and worked with him over the past year and we know that he prides himself on being unpredictable from time to time so that’s not really the crux of it. One of the things I have to admit I’m having a lot of trouble getting around is the idea that this entire thing is coming about because the president and the administration have decided that Canada, Canadian steel and aluminum is a national security threat to the United States. Now first of all, the idea that our soldiers who fought and died together on the beaches of world War II and the mountains of Afghanistan and have stood shoulder to shoulder in some of the most difficult places in the world that are always there for each other, somehow this is insulting to that. The idea that the Canadian steel that’s in military — military vehicles in the United States, the Canadian aluminum that makes your fighter jets is somehow now a threat? The idea that we are somehow a national security threat to the United States is quite frankly insulting and unacceptable."
