The Conservative leader issued his sharpest rebuke yet of U.S. President Donald Trump’s annexation rhetoric in an interview on Joe Rogan’s podcast, which Poilievre recorded during his trip to the U.S. this week. (The Logic)

Talking point: Poilievre told reporters that he went on the podcast, one of the most popular in the world, to advocate for tariff-free trade between Canada and the U.S. Much of the interview focused on Poilieve and Rogan’s shared love of kettlebells and clean eating, but Poilievre also made the case that cutting tariffs on Canada would make goods more affordable for American consumers. He also defended Canadians’ reaction to Trump’s references to Canada as the 51st State, which Rogan called “crazy.” Poilievre is due to cap off his first official trip to the U.S. Thursday with a speech on his vision for Canada-U.S. relations at the Foreign Policy Association in New York.
