He somehow thinks that's funny. He's posted, “Why does Justin Trudeau recognize a defeated thug dictator over the Venezuelans people's choice?” Just to make sure that misinformation doesn't stay out there, we have not recognized the “defeated thug dictator”. In fact, Minister Joly issued a statement. She also issued a second statement with the United States and 30 other countries that unequivocally condemns the ongoing and escalating repression in Venezuela by the Maduro regime, particularly in the aftermath of the elections. We've also condemned the use of the repressive tactics by Venezuelan authorities.
I'm disappointed that we're not using this meeting to collectively recognize the human rights violations that are happening in Venezuela and to together come up with solutions.
