Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is preparing what he calls a “Team Canada” approach to engaging with the US as the country gears up for a possible return of President Donald Trump.

Trudeau told reporters in Montreal on Tuesday that Trade Minister Mary Ng and Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne will lead the strategy, along with Canada’s ambassador to the US, Kirsten Hillman.
