Quebec minister apologizes for expletive against Trump amid trade war

ctvnews.ca

Quebec Economy Minister Bernard Drainville used an expletive against U.S. President Donald Trump during a radio interview, calling his language inappropriate but defending his anger over the ongoing trade war. Drainville said on social media that Trump's tariff war against Quebec and Canada justified his indignation, though he acknowledged the words were poorly chosen. Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette had urged him to retract the remark. The comment came during a 20-minute interview Wednesday on Quebec City radio station FM93, where Drainville is running for re-election. He has previously served as Minister of Education and Minister of Health.
