Canada pumps the brakes as allies join U.S. minerals bloc
About this episode
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio invited 50 countries to a critical minerals meeting in Washington to pitch a new 'preferential trade zone' that would introduce a fair pricing agreement for allies. While the EU, Japan and Mexico signed on to critical mineral action plans with the U.S., Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says Canada needs more information on the initiative. Plus, Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association president Brian Kingston reacts to news that the Liberals will announce a new auto strategy and the end of the electric vehicle mandate on Thursday, according to a CBC News source.
