Poilievre heads to Detroit to push for tariff-free trade

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is scheduled to be in Detroit today where he says he will advocate for tariff-free trade, with a focus on the auto sector.

Poilievre is scheduled to hold a press conference in Windsor, Ont., before crossing the river to Detroit where he is scheduled to meet with business leaders and do American interviews.

The trade war is a central piece in the U.S. midterm election race in Michigan, the heart the of the U.S. auto industry.

Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers released a video last week saying “Canada is not our enemy” despite previous support for the tariffs.
