‘We have an approach that is very broad and we are very unique in the world’
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.
“So we have an approach that is very broad and we are very unique in the world. We have the strongest and, I think, most important relationship as a country with the U.S.,” Joly said. Trump and Harris have both campaigned on protectionist policies, which could pose a major threat to Canada’s economy. “The focus of our friends in the United States is national security. National security and economic security are one. I think there is a better understanding today that the strategic relationship that we have is serving North America’s national security,” Champagne said.
Harris has said her administration would uphold mutual defence pacts and continue steadfast support for Ukraine. Joly said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government has experience dealing with three different U.S. administrations over the last decade. In question period, Poilievre attacked the Liberals for failing to get a deal with the U.S. to end softwood lumber tariffs and accused the Liberals of capitulating to the Americans during the last round of trade negotiations.
