Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre were asked to comment on the indictment of former U.S. president Donald J. Trump, but they both steered clear of commenting on the issue.

“It’s a question for the American people and their justice system,” Trudeau said in French on April 4 from Lévis, Québec.
