Canadian finance minister Dominic LeBlanc declines to run for Liberal Party leadership

Canadian Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc announced he will not run for the Liberal Party leadership. He stated his priority is to address potential tariffs from the incoming Trump administration, emphasizing the need to focus on his current role. LeBlanc's decision comes after Justin Trudeau's resignation amid declining public support. LeBlanc, who became finance minister last month, aims to collaborate with various stakeholders to combat the threat of tariffs on Canadian businesses. The Liberal Party is expected to have a leadership campaign soon, with potential candidates including Chrystia Freeland and Mark Carney. Details about the campaign timeline have not yet been released.
