Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland Resigns Amid Tariff Dispute with Trump
In a surprising move, Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland has resigned following disagreements with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s looming tariffs on Canadian imports. This resignation represents a significant dissent within Trudeau’s cabinet and raises questions about his government’s stability, as he trails behind Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre in polls. Freeland’s departure comes just before a crucial financial update and has prompted the appointment of Dominic LeBlanc as the new finance minister.
