OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says U.S. President Donald Trump is right to think he would have an easier time dealing with a Liberal prime minister in Canada.

On Fox News on Tuesday evening, Trump was asked about the upcoming election and the fact that polls now suggest the Liberals are in the lead.

Trump said he doesn’t care who wins the election — but added he thinks it’s easier to deal with a Liberal and took aim at Poilievre, saying he’s “stupidly, no friend of mine.”

While Trump complained that Poilievre says negative things about him, he quickly added that he couldn’t care less about what the Conservative leader says.

At a press conference in Sudbury, Ont. this morning, Poilievre said he’s a strong leader and a tough negotiator.
