Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly’s office confirms she has briefed Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney on President Donald Trump’s tariffs days ahead of Sunday’s leadership vote this week.

Carney is the presumed front-runner for the party’s leadership and could become prime minister as early as next week—which would make Trump’s growing trade war with Canada his problem to sort out.
