Canadian Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc has ruled out a run for the leadership of the Liberal Party, prioritizing his role in addressing potential trade conflicts with the United States. Trudeau's resignation as leader has triggered a leadership race, but LeBlanc states his commitment to his current duties remains paramount.
Canadian Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc has decided not to run for leadership of the Liberal Party , saying he needs to focus on countering the threat of tariffs from Donald Trump’s administration. In a statement posted to X, LeBlanc says he’s grateful for the expressions of support from Liberal lawmakers and members across the country, but won’t be a candidate in the upcoming race.
“Serving Canadians is an immense privilege — and at a moment when Canada is at a crucial juncture in its relationship with its most important ally and trading partner, the United States, I firmly believe that at this time, the best way for me to serve our country is to direct my full attention to my job,” he said. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Monday he plans to step down as soon as Liberals choose a new leader
