Chrystia Freeland has unexpectedly resigned as Canada’s Finance Minister following disagreements with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau regarding U.S. tariffs on imports. Freeland’s resignation letter emphasized a divergence in their views on the best path for Canada, particularly concerning fiscal policies in light of looming tariffs set to be introduced by U.S. President Donald Trump. Freeland argued for a more cautious economic approach, contrasting with Trudeau’s proposed tax cuts, paving the way for a potential cabinet reshuffle as the government faces larger-than-expected budget deficits.
