Trudeau Resignation Adds New Issues to North American Trade

January 7, 2024--Written by Daniel Graeber for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--North American trade relations may be faced with another test as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigned just days before U.S. President-elect Donald Trump takes office. Outgoing U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris presided Monday over the congressional approval of the results from the November election that showed her Republican rival Trump secure a second, non-consecutive tenure as president. While Washington D.C. stood quiet under a blanket of fresh snow, the federal Canadian government was upended Monday by a resignation announcement from Trudeau, now entering his tenth year as prime minister.
