Comey Tweets Over Canada: 'This Too Shall Pass'

Former FBI Director James Comey backed Canada in a tweet late Saturday after President Trump attacked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

“Our national security relationship with Canada is vital and saves American lives. It was built over generations and is bigger than any person or dispute. This too shall pass,” Comey tweeted, including a photo of him at Canada’s Parliament Hill.

Trump blasted Trudeau in a pair of tweets late Saturday after leaving the Group of Seven (G-7) summit. He said that Trudeau made “false statements” at a new conference and calling the prime minister “very dishonest and weak.”

The U.S. would not endorse the joint communique signed by the other G-7 member countries, Trump wrote, after Trudeau had said all countries signed it, and appeared to threaten more tariffs against Canada.

Based on Justin’s false statements at his news conference, and the fact that Canada is charging massive Tariffs to our U.S. farmers, workers and companies, I have instructed our U.S. Reps not to endorse the Communique as we look at Tariffs on automobiles flooding the U.S. Market!

PM Justin Trudeau of Canada acted so meek and mild during our @G7 meetings only to give a news conference after I left saying that, “US Tariffs were kind of insulting” and he “will not be pushed around.” Very dishonest & weak. Our Tariffs are in response to his of 270% on dairy!
