Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the newly seated leader who’s been compared to Sen. Bernie Sanders in terms of policy hopes and dreams, said his one wish for the United States would be for Americans to start thinking more globally and to be more aware of how domestic actions affect those in other countries.
In a “60 Minutes” interview on CBS due to air this Sunday, Trudeau said “it might be nice if [Americans] paid a little more attention to the world,” the Associated Press reported.

He made the comments in context of discussing what Canadians find unfavorable about America.
“Having a little more of an awareness of what’s going on in the rest of the world, I think, is what many Canadians would hope for Americans,” he said, AP reported, citing an advance release of the show’s transcript.
Trudeau added this: “I think we sometimes like to think that, you know, Americans will pay attention to us from time to time, too.”
