Canada is bracing for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s successor, who will follow the Liberal Party leader that has led U.S.’s neighbor to the north since the Obama administration, The Associated Press reported.

Canada's Liberal Party will announce Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's successor on Sunday as both party chief and head of the country's government in the midst of a trade war with the United States that could cripple the Canadian economy.

Trump and his aides have reportedly threatened to redraw the northern border, go after Canada’s minerals and water, and cancel NORAD.

The president signed executive orders today offering a monthlong exemption, until April 2, for all goods covered under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, which includes most U.S. imports from those countries. About 10 percent of Mexico’s exports to the U.S. fall outside the U.S.M.C.A. trade agreement, according to one economist.

Donald Trump put into place tariffs against Canada and Mexico earlier this week. But after the stock market slipped, he has carved out big exemptions.
