  • Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet over differences in how to prepare for the Trump administration, a stunning move that shakes the government.

The article from MSN discusses the resignation of Canada's Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland amid tensions with the United States over former President Donald Trump's policies. Freeland, who has been a vocal critic of Trump, resigned citing irreconcilable differences in handling economic relations with the U.S., particularly in light of Trump's potential return to office. Her resignation comes at a critical time as Canada navigates trade negotiations and economic recovery post-COVID-19. The rift reportedly stems from differing views on how to approach Trump's protectionist policies and his potential impact on Canadian industries like dairy, lumber, and automotive sectors. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has yet to name a replacement, but the move has sparked discussions on Canada's foreign policy direction and its economic strategy moving forward.
