Prime Minister Justin Trudeau welcomes US President Joe Biden’s plans to run for re-election in 2024, calling it “great news”.
Reporters asked the prime minister on his way to a cabinet meeting on Parliament Hill on Tuesday what he thought of Biden’s announcement.
“Of course I think it’s great news that President Biden has confirmed he’s going ahead,” Trudeau said. “This is a leader needed not just by the United States, but by the entire world, and I look forward to working with him for many years to come.”
Confirmation of Biden’s re-election run came in the form of a three-minute video released Tuesday asked Americans to let him and the Democrats “finish the job” by denouncing Republican “extremists” as footage played of Biden during his first term as president.
“When I ran for president four years ago, I said that we are in a battle for the soul of America, and we still are. The question we face is whether in the next few years we will will have more or less freedom.” , more rights or less. I know what I want the answer to be, and I think you do too,” Biden said in the video.
“This is no time to be complacent. That’s why I’m running for re-election.”
Last month, Biden visited Canada, where he addressed Parliament and agreed with Trudeau to address a number of cross-border irritants while emphasizing the importance of shared values for shared prosperity.
