Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's political career faces its biggest test yet after Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland abruptly resigned. Freeland's departure raises questions about Trudeau's leadership amid declining popularity due to inflation and immigration concerns. Meanwhile, incoming US President-elect Donald Trump adds fuel to the fire, criticizing Freeland and Trudeau on Truth Social. Trudeau quickly appointed Dominic LeBlanc as Freeland's replacement, but the situation remains volatile.

Trump previously trolled Trudeau by calling Canada a state. And during his first term in his office—when he renegotiated the free trade deal with Canada and Mexico—Trump said Freeland wasn’t liked. But a no confidence vote in the government is not imminent with Parliament about to break for the holidays.

A Liberal party official said Freeland was offered a position as minister in charge of Canada-US relations without portfolio and without a department. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of not being authorized to speak publicly on the matter, said the position would have been in name only and wouldn’t have come with any of the tools Freeland previously had when she negotiated the trade with the United States.
