Justin Trudeau spoke to reporters on Wednesday after video showed Chinese President Xi Jinping confronting the Canadian prime minister for sharing details of a conversation the two leaders had Tuesday on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Bali.
“Not every conversation is going to be easy,” Trudeau said, adding that his government strives to “be open with Canadians.”
Xi was seen in a video confronting Trudeau over "leaking" details of their conversation to the media. He warned their could be consequences for Trudeau, but did not say what those might be. The translator did not convey this remark to the prime minister, but Global News confirmed the translation with three Mandarin speakers.
Trudeau said Wednesday he recognizes that China has a large impact on the global economy and on events around the world but said Canada must be able to “challenge” China on issues of human rights and “values that are important to Canadians.”
