Liberal ministers attending the party’s three-day cabinet retreat in Montreal said their government is preparing for the possible re-election of Donald Trump, which the prime minister recently said would be a “step back” for Canadians.
“Now this year, half of the planet will be going through elections, including in the U.S., and we will be ready,” Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly told reporters on Jan. 22, the second day of the retreat. “We will have a pragmatic approach, even when it comes to the U.S. and even when it comes to, of course, our best friend and ally.”
