Hawzah News Agency - (Toronto - Canada) - The CEO of Canadian packaged meats company Maple Leaf Foods has put US President Donald Trump in the cross hairs over the accidental downing of a Ukrainian passenger jet by Iran last week, blaming the US for destabilizing the region and exacerbating tensions with Tehran.
In a series of scalding tweets on Sunday, Michael McCain wrote that he was "very angry" at Trump and held him responsible for the deaths of dozens of Canadian citizens, including the family of an employee of his company, in the jet crash that Iran says was unintentionally caused by one of its missile defense systems.
"I’m Michael McCain, CEO of Maple Leaf Foods, and these are personal reflections. I am very angry, and time isn’t making me less angry," he tweeted.
McCain called Trump a "narcissist" who "tears world accomplishments apart; destabilizes region."
The United States is "now unwelcomed everywhere in the area including Iraq; tensions escalated to feverish pitch," he added.
he Boeing 737-800, on its way to Kiev and ultimately bound for Toronto, was shot down unintentionally on January 8, hours after Iran fired missiles at two American military bases in neighboring Iraq in retaliation for the US assassination of Iranian Lt. Gen. Qassem Soleimani a few days earlier.
All the 176 people on board were killed and among them 147 were Iranians.
