LIBERALS BOASTING TRUDEAU STOOD UP TO TRUMP

   The Liberals are boasting that they stood up to U.S. President Donald Trump in new television ads released Saturday, touting a North American free trade deal that remains in limbo, as a multinational chief executive took credit for a breakthrough in the talks.

Stephen Schwarzman, head of the Blackstone Group, has penned a book in which he says he brokered a deal between Trudeau and Trump that saw the Canadian prime minister make concessions on dairy, according to a report in The Globe and Mail about the book, to be published next week.

Schwarzman claims that Trump had refused to meet with Trudeau while they were both at the UN in New York in September 2018, ahead of a Sept. 30 deadline, and that Trudeau asked him to intervene as NAFTA talks had stalled.
