Joe Biden: World needs Canada 'very badly'

9 December 2016 US & Canada

US Vice-President Joe Biden told an audience in Ottawa that the world needs "genuine leaders" such as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The outgoing vice-president spoke during a state dinner and took the opportunity to praise America's northern neighbour.

"The world is going to spend a lot of time looking to you, Mr Prime Minister", he told the Canadian leader.

Mr Biden has been highly critical of US President-elect Donald Trump.

"Vive le Canada because we need you very, very badly," he told the dinner guests.
