Lawmakers approved a motion that rejected disparaging ad hominem statements by U.S. officials which do a disservice to bilateral relations, Reuters reported.
The symbolic move came after Peter Navarro, the White House National Trade Council director said there is a special place in hell for any leader who engages in bad faith diplomacy with Trump.
A number of other Trump officials and the president himself also lashed out at the Canadian prime minister following the Group of Seven (G-7) summit in Canada last weekend.

our reputation in the world is now "people who would elect Trump and tolerate him running their country." i'm afraid that ship has sailed.
now we're playing for an opportunity to avoid a fall into full-blown fascism. we must vote like our democracy depends on it.

(63,849 posts)especially all this underhanded stuff of throwing people off the voter rolls. This is serious stuff, each day they are chipping away at our liberties.
The republicans are going to pay a hefty price for their treasonous ways. Yes, I am really upset.
