"What a pleasure it is to welcome Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Canada and China," Trudeau said when while receiving the Japanese Prime Minister on April 28.

“Canada and Japan", he immediately corrected himself.

However, during a press conference later, he again made the same mistake but this time he did not even realize his mistake.

Abe and Trudeau met Sunday to discuss the benefits of a Pacific Trade deal that United States President Donald Trump walked away from.

"This deal has benefited tremendously Canadian citizens, Japanese citizens and businesses and indeed people throughout the region. That stands in stark contrast with the United States withdrawal continuing to move forward on freer more open trade, according to the rules we can all agree on, is something we need more in the world,” Trudeau said.
