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

Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly on Friday announced she would not run in the race to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, saying she wanted to focus on the threat posed by potential U.S. tariffs.

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly won’t run in the Liberal leadership race because she feels her duty is to the country and dealing with the incoming Trump administration and the threat of massive tariffs on Canadian goods.

Justin Trudeau, who has led the country for nearly a decade, is giving up leadership of the Liberal party. He said he would remain in both roles until his replacement had been chosen through a party election.

Canada's ruling Liberal Party is looking for a new leader to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who announced on Monday he intended to step down. The name of the winner will be released on March 9.
