Trudeau’s intelligence adviser and former Royal Canadian Mounted Police member Kevin Brosseau will take over the position right now.
After Trump and Trudeau reached an agreement in February that includes enhanced border controls between the United States and Canada, Trump’s threat to levy 25% import taxes on all Canadian goods was put on hold for 30 days.
Trump threatened to impose a 25% tariff on international imports of steel and aluminum to the United States starting on March 12th.
Canada, which provides the US with more steel and aluminum products than any other nation, will be especially impacted if it moves forward.
On Wednesday, the 13 provincial and territorial leaders of Canada are meeting with US politicians in Washington, DC.
