Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly highlighted that Canada's strategy to respond to potential U.S. tariffs captured the Trump administration's notice while also strengthening support for the Liberal party. Addressing European leaders at a conference in Munich, Joly proposed that they take cues from Canada's tactics, advocating for united efforts in countering Trump's tariff intimidations. Senator Andy Kim emphasized that Trump's assumption of external payment for U.S. tariffs faced resistance from Americans who are averse to levies that escalate local prices.
