OTTAWA – Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc attended a “Canada-U.S. Friendship Day” baseball game in Washington on Tuesday — wearing a Washington Nationals jersey.
LeBlanc is in Washington as the U.S. ramps up pressure on Canada in advance of formal talks on the Canada-U.S.-Mexico agreement on trade, better known as CUSMA.
U.S. President Donald Trump last week threatened to slap new tariffs on an array of Canadian goods starting next month.
Janice Charette, Canada’s chief trade negotiator, is with LeBlanc in Washington, though his office has not said who they are meeting with.
In one of the photos from the game posted by LeBlanc, he is wearing a Montreal Expos jersey, the team that moved to Washington more than 20 years ago and became the Nationals.
LeBlanc says in the post he was happy to attend the game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Washington Nationals and celebrate the two countries’ shared love of baseball.
