In an interview with the CBC, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that a second Donald Trump term would "slow down the world’s progress" on climate change.
When asked how the Trudeau government was preparing for the possibility of another Trump presidency, Trudeau said, working with the US "is always a challenge" regardless of the administration.
"We were able to solve for some extremely difficult problems during the Trump years: a threat to rip up NAFTA, a desire to move backwards on climate change, was a menace not just to Canada but to the world."
"Yes, there's a concern particularly around the environment at a time where it's so important to move forward on protecting and building an economy of the future, where energy workers, miners, forestry workers across this country and manufacturing across the country continues to be successful as we move towards lower emissions," Trudeau added.
"A Trump presidency that goes back on the fight against climate change would slow down the world's progress in ways that are concerning to me," he concluded.
During the Trump administration, Trump pulled the US from the Paris climate agreement, with Trudeau saying he was "deeply disappointed" by the decision
