Mélanie Joly heads to Washington to discuss tariffs with Trump administration
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly will travel to Washington next week to discuss potential tariffs with the incoming Trump administration. President-elect Trump has proposed 25 percent tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico. Joly's visit aims to address these threats and prepare for possible retaliatory measures. She has been in contact with U.S. officials, including Senator Lindsey Graham and potential cabinet members. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and provincial leaders will also meet in Ottawa to plan Canada's response to tariffs. Ontario Premier Doug Ford is set to lead a delegation to Washington on February 12.
