Canada Sends in Top Talker to Deal With Trump

Canada will have a new chief trade negotiator with the United States during the upcoming review of North America’s free trade agreement, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Monday.

Janice Charette, 63, will be a senior adviser to Carney and to Dominic LeBranc, the minister who oversees U.S.-Canada trade matters, Carney’s office said in a statement.

“With four decades of experience in public policy and diplomacy, Janice Charette brings extraordinary leadership, expertise, and a deep commitment to advancing Canada’s interests,” Carney said, a day after Canada’s new U.S. ambassador began his term.
