During Canada’s 2021 federal election, Clinton voiced support for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, calling him a “friend” in a Twitter post, while wishing him and “our progressive Canadian neighbors the best” three days ahead of the election.
Trudeau will speak at the convention on May 4 but is expected to miss out on much of the event to travel to London for the coronation of King Charles on May 6.
