WASHINGTON—An official in the Trump administration privately referred to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as "that little punk kid running Canada," another Trump official said at an event on Wednesday.

Larry Kudlow, Trump's chief economic adviser, recounted the story at an invitation-only dinner hosted by the American Spectator, a conservative magazine.
