Biden Pressured Trudeau to Clamp Down on ‘Freedom Convoy’ Truckers: Inquiry
According to testimony in the public inquiry into Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s use of the Emergency Act against the trucker-led protest against lockdown restrictions in February, U.S. President Joe Biden and U.S. Transport Secretary Pete Buttigieg, among others, urged the Canadian government to clamp down on the peaceful protests.
According to the inquiry, which was established to determine if the drastic measures were justified,
the decision to implement the Emergencies Act came just three days after Trudeau spoke over the phone with President Biden, who reportedly expressed his concerns over the potential for the trucker protests to spread to the United States, highlighting possible disruptions of the Super Bowl and on the streets of Washington D.C., POLITICO reports.
For his part, Mr Trudeau complained about the alleged American impact on the Freedom Convoy, such as “money, people, and political/media support.”
The day before the Biden-Trudeau call, Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland wrote in an email to her subordinates of the sentiment among her American counterparts: “They are very, very, very worried,” she said.
“If this is not sorted out in the next 12 hours, all of their northeastern car plants will shut down.”
Remember how the Biden supporters kept repeating that Trump had "authoritarian tendencies" even though he never did anything to back their claim up ?
Turns out Sleepy Joe and Sweet Pete are the ones who actually take action to force our allies to crush real peaceful protests.
