The Canadian government is in a better position to manage trade negotiations with the next American president than it was the last time it signed a deal with the U.S. and Mexico, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said as Americans headed to the polls Tuesday.
CTV News Political Commentator Scott Reid, joins CP24 about how the election results could impact Canada.
She also said she’s been speaking with other foreign ministers and world leaders about how to work with the next president. For Canada, an impact on trade is the most immediate concern, but several cabinet ministers say they’ve been laying the groundwork for any outcome for months. Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne said the goal over the last several months has been to define Canada as a critical and strategic partner, particularly on economic security, as opposed to just a friendly neighbour to the north.
Canada does not plan to reach the target of spending two per cent of GDP on defence until at least 2032. “I have great confidence in the institutions of the United States, including our relationship with the State Department and their military.” Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said on social media Tuesday a Conservative government would “drive a hard bargain” with Washington on softwood lumber and buy-American policies.
