'Modi screwed us to help Canadian conservatives': Trudeau's advisor makes claim in new book about disastrous 2018 trip

New Delhi: Justin Trudeau's disastrous trip to India - one that had evoked mirth-inducing comparisons to the Trudeau family cosplaying as a bunch of Bollywood extras – has become a major focus in a new book set to be released next week.

In the book Trudeau: Education of a Prime Minister, Trudeau's longtime advisor Gerald Butts accused the Indian government of trying to 'screw' the Liberals by helping undermine Trudeau's trip to India.

The trip was a disaster from the start. Trudeau was welcomed at the airport not by PM Modi but Minister of State for Agriculture Gajendra Singh Shekhawat.

On top of being widely panned as a family jamboree, Trudeau was also of being soft on terror, particularly Khalistanis after a former terrorist was invited to one of his receptions.
