Following months of confrontation and even a trade war, Canada and the US managed to reach a new trade agreement to replace NAFTA on October 1, thus ending the dispute.
Trump's economic adviser Larry Kudlow said during a dinner hosted by the American Spectator magazine that one of his "friends in the White House" had called Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a "little punk kid running Canada," The Washington Examiner has reported. The comment came in the context of tough negotiations that the US was having with Canada on a new trade deal aimed at replacing NAFTA.
"A friend of mine in the White House, who will go unnamed, said, 'You know, I know why you're supporting this deal Larry, it's because we made a [new trade] deal. We didn't walk away, we didn't end it, we made a deal. Alright? 'Spite that little punk kid running Canada, we still made it," he reportedly said.
Kudlow hasn't officially confirmed he said the words reported in the media.
In 2018, a trade war erupted after the US imposed 25% and 10% tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum respectively, demanding that Ottawa abolish "unfair" tariffs on US goods. President Donald Trump also urged Canada and Mexico to replace the old NAFTA deal with a new trade agreement.

After more than a year of negotiations, the new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) was signed on October 1, ending the trade war between Canada and the US. Ottawa praised the deal as "strengthening the middle class" and "creating good, well-paying jobs."

A group of around 10 people attacked the Canadian Embassy in the northern Athenian suburb of Halandri on Sunday morning, using sledgehammers to smash glass on the entrance and throwing red and black paint onto the facade.
The attacks happened at 6.10 a.m. and all the assailants had their faces covered.
The security guard at the embassy alerted the police, while CCTV footage showed that the assailants had arrived on motorcycles that they had parked at a supermarket around 150 meters away from the embassy.
One man was questioned in the vicinity of the attack but released.

Anarchist collective Rouvikonas on Sunday claimed responsibility for an attack on the Canadian Embassy in Athens, which was set upon earlier in the day by a group of around 10 assailants.
The incident took place at 6.10 a.m. on Sunday morning in the quiet northern suburb of Halandri and saw the attackers smash the embassy's entrance with sledgehammer, as well as splashing red and black paint onto the facade.
A security guard called the police, but the perpetrators had fled before any arrests could be made.
According to Rouvikonas's post on an anarchist website, the attack was carried out in reaction to the activities of a Canadian mining company in northern Greece.
The attack was condemned by the Greek Foreign Ministry, which vowed that the perpetrators would be brought to justice and said that such actions will not affect "the bonds of enduring friendship" between Greece and Canada.
Rouvikonas (Greek for Rubicon) appeared in the summer of 2015 and has conducted numerous similar assaults on perceived targets, which include the embassies of Iran, Israel and Saudi Arabia, state and government offices, and foreign companies.
