NEW YORK – President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he rejected a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during the United Nations General Assembly, but a spokeswoman for Trudeau’s government disputed that the meeting had ever been requested.

“Yeah, I did,” Trump said during a press conference in New York when asked if he has rejected the meeting.

“We’re very unhappy with the negotiations,” he said, “and the negotiating style of Canada.”. »

While China’s ban on ivory has had a positive impact, the plight of the African elephant is far from over. »

"Each appointment to our nation's Highest Court (as with all others) is simply too important to rush to a vote," Carlson wrote.

The comments are striking because the organization gave Kavanaugh its highest rating of unanimous, "well-qualified" for the Supreme Court.

Kavanaugh himself touted that rating at Thursday's emotionally-charged hearing where he denied Ford's sworn testimony that he attempted to rape her when they were teenagers. »
