Trudeau has a track record of straining relations with friendly nations due to his outspoken statements, and his comments have also caused tensions with Australia, Brazil, and China in the past, as noted by former diplomat Amb.

India on Thursday said the current diplomatic row with Canada has been precipitated by the Trudeau government’s “baseless” allegations, and reiterated that “no evidence” has been shared in support of Ottawa’s serious allegations against New Delhi.

The Canadian prime minister criticized India Wednesday over its alleged interference in the "safety and sovereignty of Canada."
