Trudeau Appoints His Deputy as Finance Minister

The Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, has appointed on Tuesday the Deputy PM, Chrystia Freeland, as Canada’s new Minister of Finance.

This comes after the resignation of Bill Morneau from the post on Monday, reportedly due to disagreements with the Prime Minister.

Freeland was Canada’s lead negotiator in talks for the new North America free trade deal, known as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
