Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday that the United States and United Kingdom are “turning inward," pointing to “clear disagreements” with U.S. foreign policy before the upcoming Group of 20 (G20) summit this week, Yahoo News reported.

"There are tremendous opportunities for countries like Canada and Ireland, at a time where perhaps our significant allies and trading partners in the case of both the U.S. and the U.K. are turning inward or at least turning into a different direction," Trudeau reportedly said during a joint press conference with new Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar during an official visit to Dublin.

Trudeau’s comments come after President Trump accused the U.S.'s northern neighbor of unfairly “dumping” low-priced exports into U.S. markets through the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

Trump campaigned on an "America first" agenda, and other nations have been stepping up to fill a perceived void in global leadership.

Trudeau, who strongly stands behind the Paris climate agreement, also pointed out his disapproval with Trump’s decision to pull out of the deal, Yahoo reported.

"The choices made by the United States on trade and climate change are at odds with the majority of G20 countries, or even all the other G20 countries," the Canadian leader said, referring to the upcoming G20 summit, in which Trump is set to meet with world leaders.

Trudeau also said the summit would create an opportunity for "robust and honest exchanges about how to serve not only our citizens but the whole planet.”

Varadkar also appeared to criticize Britain for its decision to exit the European Union, saying its neighbor “unfortunately” decided to leave the bloc.

"We each share a relationship with a very big neighbor, a neighbor that has to a certain extent decided to go in a different direction, at least for the time being," said Varadkar, Ireland's first openly gay prime minister.
