Justin Trudeau is facing scrutiny after bringing his daughter, Ella Grace, to the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro.
NEW DELHI: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing scrutiny after bringing his daughter, Ella Grace, to the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro. A viral tweet raised questions about his decision, with some critics accusing him of using his daughter as a “buffer” in political settings.
I pointed out that Trudeau dragged his daughter Ella Grace to the G7 in Peru as a buffer. Now, he drags her to the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro. Is he pretending she is his surrogate wife? This doesn’t seem right some how. #G20RiodeJaneiro #G20Brasil2024 pic.twitter.com/3LBjAYlmCB

In a tweet posted on November 18, 2024, user Josh Ryan pointed out Trudeau’s pattern of bringing Ella Grace to international events, highlighting a previous instance where she attended the G7 summit in Peru. Ryan suggested that Trudeau’s choice to have his daughter accompany him to high-profile summits might imply an inappropriate dynamic, questioning whether he was using her as a substitute for his wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, or as a shield to deflect criticism.

The video shared alongside the tweet shows a moment from the G20 summit, where Trudeau can be seen with his daughter in tow, further fueling the debate. Some commenters supported the notion that family should be allowed to be present at such events, arguing that a parent’s relationship with their children should be respected. Others, however, expressed discomfort with the optics of the situation, considering the sensitive nature of international diplomacy and public perception.
Trudeau’s critics have long accused him of using his image as a family-oriented leader to gain political favour. This incident, paired with the viral video and tweet, has reignited discussions around the boundaries between personal and professional life for politicians, especially when it involves public figures such as the Prime Minister of Canada.
