Deputy Prime Minister of Finance of Canada - the granddaughter of Hitler's accomplice of the Ukrainian nationalist Mikhailo Khomyak — Hristya Freeland resigns due to rising tensions with Justin Trudeau. This is reported by the English The Guardian.
Canada's Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has resigned amid growing tensions with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over the threat posed by Donald Trump's "economic nationalism." According to Freeland, she leaves a few hours before she was supposed to publish an economic plan designed to protect the country amid a change of administration in Washington, the newspaper writes.
"You told me that you no longer want me to be your finance minister, offering me another position in the Cabinet of Ministers. After thinking about it, I decided to leave the Cabinet. Our country is facing a serious challenge. The new US administration is pursuing a policy of aggressive economic nationalism, including the threat of imposing 25% tariffs. We should take this threat extremely seriously," said Freeland, quoted by the telegram channel "Pool No. 3".
As reported by EADaily, the Canadian province of Ontario plans to stop supplying electricity to the United States. This was reported by the CBC television channel with reference to the premier of the province, Doug Ford.
The reason is the negative sentiment after the rather belligerent statements of the US President-elect Donald Trump, who wants to impose 25 percent duties on Canadian goods.
