OTTAWA — The race to replace Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is dominated by one name: Donald Trump. How to wrestle with the incoming president and his tariff threats has emerged as the defining question in the Liberal Party leadership contest.

Former finance minister Chrystia Freeland is billing herself as the best person to lead Canada's fight against Donald Trump.

The move, which a source said was needed to counter U.S. President Donald Trump's tax policies, mark a major reversal for Freeland, who introduced the proposed changes last year.
