He also intends to talk to Trump about the success of Canadas refugee policy.
Trudeau reacted to Trumps ban of Muslims from certain countries by tweeting Saturday: To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada.
Trudeau also posted a picture of him greeting a Syrian child at Torontos airport in late 2015. Trudeau oversaw the arrival of more than 39,000 Syrian refugees soon after he was elected.

(6,137 posts)As posted under another thread:
things are escalating very quickly. Justin Treadou is kindly welcoming influx of refugees and possibly others who are denied US entry?
Unfortunately, it is a no-win situation and was likey predicated by Bannon. Massive influx of refugees will quickly activate a movement against current governemnt 'establishment'. Look at propaganda, Justin is being hammered by right wing news outlets. Any accident in Canada blamed on refugees will change your country political landscape VERY quickly.
Be vigilant of any backlash and keep track of facts.
