Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has defended skipping Canada's World Cup opener after facing backlash for attending the USA's opening match, where girlfriend Katy Perry performed.
Trudeau said 'supportive boyfriend duties' had called after cameras captured the couple sharing a kiss and watching the game together in Los Angeles while Canada played in Toronto.
The move sparked criticism online, with some fans questioning why the former Canadian leader missed his country's first match of the tournament.
