Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has once again dodged a question regarding the controversial allegations of sexual assault against Donald Trump during a press conference with his French counterpart Manuel Valls on Thursday. Trudeau was asked about the reports by various American media about women describing being kissed or groped by Trump, without their consent. In his response, Trudeau stated that “my job as prime minister of Canada is to ensure … that this relationship goes far deeper than any two personalities at their countries’ respective heads.”
Furthermore, Trudeau clarified that “I think, however, I’ve been very, very clear in my approach as a feminist, as someone who has stood clearly and strongly all my life around issues of sexual harassment, standing against violence against women, that I don’t need to make any further comment at this time.” Earlier in 2014, Trudeau kicked two Liberal MPs out of caucus amid separate allegations they had sexually assaulted New Democrat MPs. Whereas just last year, Trudeau made an iconic move to keep a gender equal cabinet and appointed an equal number of men and women to ministerial roles.
Canadian politicians have traditionally avoided to comment on the elections of other countries, especially in the U.S. In compliance with the tradition, Trudeau has refrained from publicly discussing the American presidential race at all events. However his French counterpart, on the other hand, stated on Thursday morning in Ottawa that he would prefer to see Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the White House because Trump has been rejected by the world.
