Canada's Deputy PM Freeland Resigns, Citing Clash with Trudeau Over U.S. Tariff Threats
Dec 16, 2024, 02:23 PM
Canadian Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has resigned from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet ahead of the scheduled presentation of the fall economic statement. Freeland announced her resignation in a letter posted on social media platform X, stating that Trudeau informed her on Friday that he no longer wanted her to serve as Finance Minister and offered her another cabinet position, which she declined. She cited disagreements with Trudeau over the best path forward for Canada, accusing him of focusing on "costly political gimmicks which we can ill afford" rather than working in good faith to prevent 25% tariffs threatened by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. Freeland indicated her intention to run again in the 2025 federal election for the riding of University–Rosedale.
