Canada joins condemnation of Trump tweets at minority women lawmakers

Two close US allies are condemning US President Donald Trump’s incendiary weekend tweets about four Democratic congresswomen.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Trump’s comments about the congresswomen are “not how we do things in Canada.”

Trump tweeted the liberal lawmakers of color should go back to the “broken and crime infested” countries they came from. All four are American citizens and three of them were born in the United States.

Trudeau says “Canadians and indeed people around the world know exactly what I think about those particular comments.”

A spokesman for British Prime Minister Theresa May had earlier said the prime minister thinks “the language which was used to refer to the women was completely unacceptable.”
