At the centre of the controversy surrounding the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation is a donation by two Chinese regime-linked figures and allegations that the donation was meant to wield influence over Justin Trudeau, who went on to become prime minister of Canada.
Since then, other controversial developments have transpired, including appointments of former Trudeau Foundation members by the prime minister to probe foreign interference issues, the proximity of Trudeau or his office with the foundation and its members, and the foundation’s handling of the Chinese donation.
