Foreign Affairs Mélanie Joly has announced she will not run for the Liberal party leadership, saying she plans to focus on her cabinet role in light of the tariffs threat from the United States.
“While I know I am ready to be the first woman to lead the Liberal Party of Canada, I must also recognize that the current international situation, especially the unjustified threat of tariffs and other economic pressures by the president-elect of the United States, requires a firm and urgent response,” Joly said in a statement released on Jan. 10.
