The Canadian senator challenges Donald Trump Jr. for a box game

Senator Patrick Braceau wants to hit Donald Trump in the face.

Not the US President, but his son Donald Trump Jr. The Senator of Quebec went to social media on Thursday to challenge the younger Trump for a charity -box match.

“In view of this wrong tariff … I challenge them to a fight to collect money for cancer research or an organization of their choice,” Brazeau wrote to Trump Jr.

Brazeau told CBC News that his challenge was “100 percent serious”.

“I only looked at everything that has happened in the past two months and just asked myself … What could I do?” he said.

“Let us look and see how much courage the Trumps and the President's son really have.”

Braceau said that he also thought to challenge the US Vice President JD Vance, but ultimately chose the president for Trump Jr. as a more symbolic stand-in.

“I just wanted to call an American and it happens to be the president's son,” he said.

Trump stops some tariffs

Brazeaus' challenge comes at a time when the tensions between the two countries are on an all -time high.

At the beginning of this week, the US President started a trade war against Canada. But on Thursday he said he was doing the tariffs of some Canadian goods again.

Trump submitted numerous complaints about Canada when he justifies his tariffs, including this fentanyl in the USA over its northern border.

According to Braceau, Trump's goals have more to do with wanting Canada's natural resources.

“I am personally sick and tired of what I hear because all this – this trade war and these tariffs – are not about fentanyl,” he said.

The US President said he would drive an additional 25 percent tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum next week.

“You talk about considerable tariffs in our country that affect the wallet of Canadian citizens,” said Brazeau.

“This is just my way to continue this fight. But not through the trade war and not through the tariffs. Just let us do it as the Trump family and the Trump people understand violence.”

More than a decade since the famous Trudeau fight

Braceau is not a stranger in the square circle. 2012, he Prime Minister Justin Trudeau fought In a game of charity, while the latter was only a MP.

The fight contributed to driving Trudeau's political career because he would be a liberal leader about a year later.

Although the now 50-year-old Senator has lost to Trudeau, he is safer about a fight with the president's son, who is his junior for three years.

Braceau noticed that he has no longer smoked and has been sober for five years.

“When I step into the ring, I can guarantee that it is not the same result as my box match with Justin Trudeau. I'll just leave it with it,” he said.
