Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland Quits Cabinet Amid Disagreement with Trudeau on Trump Tariff Policy

Chrystia Freeland has resigned from her position as finance minister in the Canadian government, citing fundamental disagreements with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over Canada's response to US President-elect Donald Trump's economic nationalism and tariffs. Freeland's resignation comes at a critical time, as she was set to present the country's first economic plan in Washington, which was expected to reveal a significant increase in the budget deficit for 2023/24.
