Chrystia Freeland, Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister, has unexpectedly resigned amidst disagreements with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau regarding looming tariffs by President Donald Trump. In her resignation letter, Freeland emphasized that the country is facing significant challenges, particularly concerning the new U.S. administration’s economic nationalism. The conflict reportedly arose over proposed temporary tax relief measures. Freeland has served in various ministerial roles since Trudeau took office in 2015 and expressed her belief that her position was no longer tenable after a loss of trust.
