Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly said she won’t enter the leadership race to succeed Justin Trudeau as prime minister.

Joly, who has long been seen as a contender for the Liberal Party leadership, will instead focus on her cabinet job ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20 and his threat to impose economically devastating tariffs on Canada.
