加拿大总理贾斯廷·特鲁多周一勉强保住了权力，在一场极其激烈的选举后赢得了少数党政府。
不出所料，这位自由党领袖失去了他的多数党政府，然而，在一系列丑闻之后，加拿大人对他的领导能力的信心动摇了，包括几年前特鲁多穿黑脸和棕色脸的照片和视频的出现。
据加拿大国家广播公司哥伦比亚广播公司报道，截至周二凌晨，自由党要么已经取得胜利，要么在157个选区领先。特鲁多的政党需要获得170个席位才能赢得多数政府。

虽然加拿大人对特鲁多连任可能有复杂的感觉，但在邻国美国，唐纳德·特朗普总统似乎对自由党领导人的胜利感到满意。
特朗普周二早间在推特上表示:“祝贺贾斯廷·特鲁多取得精彩而艰难的胜利。”。"加拿大服务周到。"
"我期待着和你一起为我们两国的进步而努力！"总统补充说。
尽管两位世界领导人之间的关系经常动荡，贸易谈判和关税紧张，特朗普还是表示了祝贺。
2018年6月，特朗普让两位领导人之间的关系变得特别紧张给特鲁多贴上“不诚实”和“软弱”的标签在特朗普对加拿大铝和钢铁征收关税后，总理表示加拿大不会被美国“摆布”。
与此同时，特朗普自己的贸易顾问彼得·纳瓦罗，说特鲁多在地狱里有一个“特别的地方”争论之后——他后来为这句话道歉。
尽管特鲁多本可以在整个竞选过程中夸大他处理与美国贸易谈判的方式，但这位加拿大领导人似乎基本上避开了这个话题——至少在选举日之前一周，也就是说。
在一篇质疑特鲁多为什么不更多地处理与美国的谈判的文章中，环球邮报劳伦斯·马丁指出，特鲁多在10月14日的一次演讲中吹嘘了他的双边努力。
据报道，特鲁多在安大略省温莎市发表讲话时，吹嘘自己有能力“对抗唐纳德·特朗普和他对钢铁和铝征收的惩罚性关税”
特鲁多说:“当他想撕毁温莎，实际上是所有加拿大人所依赖的贸易协定时，我们能够站出来。”。
加拿大总理决定在选举日前一周发出尖锐的信号，提醒人们他愿意“站出来”对抗特朗普，这可能是未来的迹象。
在第二届任期的鼓舞下，尽管是少数派政府，但面对特朗普，美国可能会从特鲁多身上看到更多。
一个可能庆祝特鲁多选举胜利的美国人是前总统巴拉克·奥巴马，他在周一投票前几天向加拿大总理提供了最后一分钟的支持。
“作为总统，我很自豪能与贾斯廷·特鲁多共事。他是一个努力工作、卓有成效的领导人，处理气候变化等重大问题，”奥巴马上周三在推特上表示。
这位前美国领导人说:“世界现在需要他的进步领导，我希望我们的北方邻国支持他连任。”。
特鲁多赢得了这种支持，尽管他的少数派政府意味着他将被迫与其他政党密切合作进行治理。

JUSTIN TRUDEAU WINS MINORITY GOVERNMENT—WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR AMERICA?
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau managed to narrowly hold onto power on Monday, winning a minority government after an incredibly tight election race.
As expected, the Liberal leader lost his majority government, however, with Canadians' confidence in his leadership left shaken following a series of scandals, including the emergence of photos and video showing Trudeau wearing blackface and brownface several years ago.
By early Tuesday morning, the Liberals had either seen victory or were leading in 157 electoral districts, according to Canada's national broadcaster CBC. Trudeau's party would have needed to secure 170 seats to win a majority government.

While Canadians might have had mixed feelings about Trudeau securing a second term, in the neighboring United States, President Donald Trump appeared to be satisfied with the Liberal leader's victory.
"Congratulations to Justin Trudeau on a wonderful and hard fought victory," Trump said in a tweet early Tuesday morning. "Canada is well served."
"I look forward to working with you toward the betterment of both of our countries!" the president added.
Trump's offer of congratulations came despite an oft-tumultuous relationship between the two world leaders, marked by tense trade negotiations and tariffs.
In June 2018, the relationship between the two leaders grew particularly fraught, with Trump labelling Trudeau "dishonest" and "weak" after the prime minister said Canadians would not be "pushed around" by the U.S., following Trump's tariffs on Canada's aluminum and steel.
Meanwhile, Trump's own trade adviser, Peter Navarro, said there was a "special place in hell" for Trudeau following the dispute—a remark he later apologized for.
While Trudeau could have played up his handling of trade talks with the U.S. throughout the course of his election campaign, the Canadian leader appeared to steer largely clear of the topic-at least until a week before election day, that is.
In an article questioning why Trudeau did not make more of his handling of negotiations with the U.S., The Globe and Mail's Lawrence Martin noted that Trudeau had touted his bilateral efforts in a speech on October 14.
Speaking in Windsor, Ontario, Trudeau reportedly touted his ability to "stand up to Donald Trump and his punitive tariffs on steel and aluminum."
"We were able to stand up when he wanted to tear up a trade deal that Windsor, indeed all Canadians, rely on," Trudeau said.
The Canadian Prime Minister's decision to issue a sharp reminder of his willingness to "stand up" to Trump just a week before election day could be a sign of what's to come.
Emboldened by a second term, albeit with a minority government, it is possible that standing up to Trump is something the U.S. will see more of from Trudeau.
One American who will likely be celebrating Trudeau's election victory is former President Barack Obama, who offered the Canadian PM a last-minute endorsement just days before Monday's vote.
"I was proud to work with Justin Trudeau as President. He's a hard-working, effective leader who takes on big issues like climate change," Obama tweeted out last Wednesday.
"The world needs his progressive leadership now, and I hope our neighbors to the north support him for another term," the former U.S. leader said.
Trudeau has won that support, though his minority government means that he will be forced to work closely with other parties to govern.
