Leidinys „Maclean‘s Magazine“ socialiniame tinkle pasidalino vaizdo įrašu, kuriame 23 – iasis Kanados ministras pirmininkas Justin Trudeau atsakinėja į klausimus, kuriuose buvo ir vienas paprastas klausimėlis apie Baltijos šalis.
Klausimas pasitaikė visai nesudėtingas: „Kokia jūsų mėgstamiausia Baltijos šalis?“ Ministras pirmininkas atsakė nė truputėlio nesusimąstęs: „Tokių nėra“.
Trudeau’s Baltic Blunder hurts Canada’s rep
Politicians from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania—otherwise known as the Baltic states—take Justin Trudeau to task.
Ahead of Wednesday’s Maclean’s Town Hall with Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister answered a series of rapid-fire questions in a 60-second challenge, such as the name of his first pet and which language he wishes he could speak. But one question seemed to stump Trudeau: What is your favourite Baltic nation? “That’s not a thing,” he replied.
Read all about the ordeal, including a response by Baltic leaders, and Trudeau’s explanation.

On Monday, Maclean’s magazine released a brief video of Trudeau answering a lightning round of simple questions. Most of them were light-hearted and personal. The magazine promised “more serious questions to come this Wednesday” when the PM did a town hall interview.
