Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has expressed concerns over the potential unpredictability for Canada should Republican frontrunner Donald Trump be re-elected as President of the United States. Trudeau's remarks come amidst the backdrop of the upcoming U.S. presidential election this November. Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci suggested that Trump's hostility towards Trudeau could be exacerbated by superficial factors such as Trudeau's appearance, stating 'That superficial sort of stuff really bothers him, so he will be an antagonist to your leadership'. Trudeau is reportedly preparing a 'Team Canada' approach to engage with the U.S. in anticipation of the challenges a second Trump presidency could pose, which he described as 'great uncertainty'. This preparation includes the possibility of purchasing far out-of-the-money VIX calls as a hedge against the uncertainty.
