Justin Trudeau’s chief lieutenant throughout his tenure as Canada’s prime minister resigned from his cabinet on Monday, citing differences over how to confront President-elect Donald Trump’s “America First” economic nationalism, threatened tariffs and a possible trade war.
The resignation of Chrystia Freeland, who served the past four years as both finance minister and deputy prime minister, is the latest blow to the embattled Trudeau, whose popularity has nosedived over the past year. If federal elections were held today, polls project a wipeout for his Liberal Party.
