Freeland seeks unity among Canadian leaders ahead of Trump's return to White House

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland is working to unite Canadian leaders in response to Donald Trump's return to the White House. She is meeting with industry heads and political leaders to prepare for potential challenges, similar to efforts made during Trump's first term.

Freeland has revived a cabinet committee focused on Canada-U.S. relations, which had been inactive during President Biden's administration. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau emphasized the importance of collaboration with the U.S. to address trade and immigration concerns.

Freeland's meetings include discussions with key sectors like auto parts and steel, as well as financial institutions. The government aims to ensure that Canadian interests are represented as Trump’s policies could impact trade and immigration.
