Justin Trudeau was in tears during a press conference Thursday after Donald Trump spent the week tormenting him with a tariff war in his waning days as prime minister.
The U.S. imposed 25 percent tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada rocketing the country into a trade war on Tuesday.
But just days later, Trump reversed his economic slap down saying that goods that are compliant with the North American free trade agreement with not be tariffed until April 2 and are apparently considering a similar carve out for Canada.
Trump has been mocking Trudeau for months, threatening to annex Canada as the 51st state and referring to the prime minister as 'Governor Trudeau.'
He's set to officially transition to a new leader once his Liberal Party holds leadership elections Sunday. That new leader will soon face a national election shortly after.
Trudeau is trying to have some semblance of a victory lap after being forced to resign when it appeared he could not win the next election.
