Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says that having a free-trade agreement with the United States is important for attracting investments from other countries, and that relations with the United States should not be ruptured by seeking closer ties with China.

Poilievre’s comments were made in reference to Japan saying that continued access to the U.S. market under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) is “critical” for Japanese investment in auto manufacturing in Canada.
