Justin Trudeau has been shamed by Twitter users for bowing his head to Iran ’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif following the devastating plane crash in January which killed 57 Canadian citizens. The plane had been "unintentionally" shot down by Tehran following escalating tensions between the US and Iran. The Canadian Prime Minister met Mr Zarif and can be heard saying “very nice to meet you”.

Trudeau FURY: Canada PM hits out at Trump and Iran after plane crash

Sharing the footage, anti-Trudeau group Canada Proud said: "Justin Trudeau was just caught on camera bowing down his head in subservience to the same Iranian regime that just murdered 57 Canadians, executes members of the LGBTQ community, funds terrorism across the world."

Twitter users were furious with the interaction and called him “two-faced”.

One wrote: “Our Grandfathers look down in shame. Some Canadian military members never came home because of the militias backed by Iran. Plus of course the poor souls on the plane and Iranians.

“He’s shaking the hand and bowing to a guy who helped kill Canadians.”

Another added: “The first thing that comes to mind is Treason, Canadians most do whatever it takes to remove this trader from office.”
