Conservative leader heads to U.S. to promote Canada as Trump escalates trade war
Poilievre says freer trade would protect Canadian jobs as he meets investors, appears on business networks and marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11.
- Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is in New York conducting media interviews and meetings with business leaders to advocate for tariff-free trade with the United States amid an intensifying trade war.
- Following President Donald Trump's executive orders banning Canadian products and imposing new tariffs, Canada enacted retaliatory measures that came into force on Tuesday, escalating the trade dispute.
- Poilievre told CNBC reporters on Thursday that Canadians feel "wounded" and "confused" by the trade barriers, emphasizing his mission is to "fight for my country," not attack Prime Minister Mark Carney on foreign soil.
- Commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, Poilievre will participate in ceremonies this Friday to honour victims and recognize how Canadians and Americans stood together in the aftermath.
- This visit, blessed by the Prime Minister's Office, builds on Poilievre's March 2026 trip to Michigan and Texas, aiming to leverage long-standing friendships between the nations to help end the ongoing trade dispute.
