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.

Police say he was removed from his duties on the same day he allegedly threatened the president.

Dumerlus is scheduled for a court appearance July 30 at the courthouse in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, southeast of Montreal.
