This brief segment was cut from the film by the Canadian broadcaster CBC. The omission of the scene prompted many to speculate that the small cut was made for political reasons.

The Canadian Broadcaster has responded by saying that the cut was made to allow time for commercials and bring down the runtime of the movie. Trump responded saying that the movie will never be the same but then ends the tweet claiming that he was alas just kidding.

In another tweet Trump also took a dig at Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, claiming that he was behind the cut because he does not like having been made to pay a share of NATO expenses or the new trade deal.
