President-elect Trump's comments on Canada's political situation after Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland's resignation highlight tensions surrounding potential U.S. tariffs.
President-elect Trump commented on the political unrest in Canada following the resignation of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland. Freeland stepped down after a disagreement with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau regarding the potential implementation of U.S. tariffs under the incoming Trump administration.
Trump, on his Truth Social platform, mocked Trudeau, stating that 'The Great State of Canada is stunned as the Finance Minister resigns, or was fired, from her position by Governor Justin Trudeau.' He further criticized Freeland's behavior, claiming it was 'totally toxic' and detrimental to Canada's well-being. Freeland's resignation raises questions about Trudeau's political future amidst concerns about inflation and immigration. Critics are calling for Trudeau's resignation, although a no-confidence vote isn't imminent. Previously, Trump suggested Canada should become the 51st state in the U.S. and threatened to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian products if border issues and trade deficits weren't addressed. He specifically threatened a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico due to their inability to curb illegal immigration and drug trafficking. During a meeting at Mar-a-Lago, Trump and Trudeau discussed these issues. Trump warned Trudeau that he would impose the tariff on his first day back in office if Canada failed to address the problems. Trudeau countered that such a tariff would devastate the Canadian economy
