Canada-U.S. trade not broken so no need for Trump to fix it: Freeland
OTTAWA — Donald Trump has pledged to fix a lot of broken things when he becomes U.S. president.
But Canada’s trade minister says the world-leading trade relationship between Canada and the United States need not be on the president-elect’s to-do list.
“I think the reality is the trading relationship with Canada is the farthest possible thing from being broken. It is very balanced and mutually beneficial,” Chrystia Freeland told The Canadian Press in an interview Wednesday.
That’s the message she said she has been actively spreading to Republicans and others in Washington during the current presidential transition period.
