Mr Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada, is married to former television host and fellow Canadian Sophie Grégoire Trudeau.



Mr Sainsbury added Mr Trump did eventually "work out" who Ms Ardern was.

In a statement to Newshub, Ms Ardern denied the US President didn't know she was the Prime Minister of New Zealand.

"Someone thought the President had confused us, but in all of the conversations we had it was clear to me he hadn't, and recalled the conversation we had late last month," she said.



Later on at the summit the two leaders were involved in a playful conversation in which Mr Trump mentioned Ms Ardern "caused a lot of upset in her country" when she was elected Prime Minister. She retorted that "no one marched when I was elected".

Mr Sainsbury said Ms Ardern also told him Mr Trump was "not as orange in real life".
