MONTREAL — The RCMP say one of their officers in Quebec has been charged with threatening U.S. President Donald Trump on social media.

In a news release, RCMP say Evenson Dumerlus, 34, of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., is facing one count of uttering threats.

Police say Dumerlus allegedly posted a video on his Snapchat account making unspecified threats against the president.

RCMP say Dumerlus uploaded the video while he was a member of the security team at the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alta., in June 2025, which Trump attended.
