Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appears to forget Anthony Albanese’s name

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appeared to forget Anthony Albanese’s name during an awkward encounter at the NATO Summit.

The Australian leader met with Mr Trudeau in Madrid on Thursday morning, with the pair shaking hands and posing for photos.

‘It’s a real pleasure to be meeting with ah, ah … a great progressive leader,’ Trudeau said as he stumbled and threw his hands in the air.
