Justin Trudeau sports Chewbacca socks at global business meeting in New York (PHOTOS)
A global business meeting this week was also Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s latest chance to “Use The Force,” in the form of sock choice.
During the inaugural Bloomberg Global Business Forum in New York on Wednesday, Trudeau was seen sporting socks featuring the Stars Wars character Chewbacca.

And while it’s a given that many important topics were discussed during the event, it was Trudeau’s wardrobe choice that had people talking on Twitter.

In fact, fellow Canadian and former Star Trek star William Shatner even weighed in on the Prime Minister’s apparel.

Others took the opportunity to compare the style of Canada’s Prime Minister with the style (or lack thereof) of US President Donald Trump.

Trump can’t even wear the right size suit,
or comb his hair,
or tie a tie,
or be human. pic.twitter.com/5ZmrAsVt8a— Bandit Aléatoire (@BanditRandom) September 21, 2017
This isn’t the first time Trudeau’s affinity for Star Wars apparel has come to the forefront of people’s minds.
Back on May 4, Trudeau held a bilateral meeting with Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny in Montreal, but with that date unofficially dubbed Star Wars Day, Canada’s Prime Minister was going to miss an optical opportunity, even posting a picture to Instagram.
Say what you will, but when it comes to his wardrobe, Trudeau’s fashion is out of this world.
