Canada's Freeland no longer to spearhead U.S. relations as finance minister: sources

OTTAWA - Canada’s Chrystia Freeland will no longer be in charge of spearheading diplomatic relations with the United States now that she is the new finance minister, three government sources told Reuters on Wednesday.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had made Freeland his main U.S. go-between when he named her deputy prime minister after last year’s election, with Foreign Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne handling all the other diplomatic files.“We’re back in more of a traditional setup in terms of the relationship,” said one of the sources. “Obviously with any relationship as complex as the Canadian-U.S. one, by necessity, different ministers will be speaking to their counterparts.

Because of the long shared border and close economic ties, the United States is by far Canada’s most crucial ally, and the relationship was often strained during the trade negotiations and a dispute over aluminum tariffs.“We’re very unhappy with the negotiations and the negotiating style of Canada. We don’t like their representative very much,” Trump said.

Tensions erupted again earlier this month when Trump moved to reimpose 10% tariffs on some aluminum products, prompting Freeland to respond the next day with retaliatory tariffs.

Who wrote this? She is a convenient replacement for a guy tossed under the bus of corruption from a guy who is up on corruption charges as well. Cancellation government and hope questions go away. The timing is a neon light flashing, cover up.
