PM TRUDEAU’S LATEST TRIP TAKES HIM TO INDIA
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau leaves today for a week-long visit to India that is expected to focus primarily on cultural and economic ties between the nations. He’ll meet with a number of Indian CEOs and business leaders, and visit some of India’s biggest tourist sites including the famed Taj Mahal in Agra. Trudeau will not meet with Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, who has publicly accused members of the Liberal cabinet of being connected to the Sikh separatist movement.
