Canada's foreign minister plans trip to Washington to discuss Trump tariffs
Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly will visit Washington next week to address potential tariffs from the incoming Trump administration. President-elect Trump has proposed 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico. Joly's trip aims to prevent these tariffs and includes discussions on Canada's response if they are implemented. She has been in contact with U.S. officials and emphasized the importance of Canada’s relationship with the U.S. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and provincial leaders will also meet to discuss a response plan. Joly announced she will not run for Liberal leadership to focus on her ministerial duties during this critical period.
