Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau will Confront VP Pence over 'Backsliding of Women's Rights' in the US

Trudeau not only expressed his concerns about the  United States, but also asserted that women’s rights are under attack in Canada as well.“Obviously,” Trudeau told reporters, “I am very concerned with the situation around the backsliding of women’s rights that we’re seeing from conservative movements here in Canada, in the United States and around the world. I will have a broad conversation with the vice president in which, of course, that’ll come up. But we’re going to mostly focus on the ratification process of NAFTA and making sure that we get good jobs for Canadians.”
