Quebec Premier Embarks on Her First Overseas Mission as Head of Government
Fréchette will meet the Canadian ambassador, business groups and congressional contacts as Quebec businesses face tariffs and 73.5% of exports go to the United States.
- On Monday, Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette will travel to Washington for her first official foreign mission, arriving as the U.S. capital faces turmoil following an apparent assassination attempt against President Donald Trump.
- The United States remains Quebec's top trading partner, receiving 73.5 per cent of its exports in 2024, valued at $91.2 billion and consisting mainly of aerospace products, aluminum, and aircraft engines.
- Quebec businesses have faced severe impacts from tariffs imposed by the Trump administration since 2025; Fréchette plans to address these challenges by meeting with Canadian Ambassador Mark Wiseman and various U.S. business associations.
- Beyond business roundtable discussions, the Premier will hold talks with unnamed congressional representatives to discuss bilateral concerns and strengthen ties despite the volatile political climate currently gripping the U.S. capital.
- Negotiations on the revision of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement begin on July 1, just two months after this diplomatic mission, making these upcoming talks critical for cross-border trade relations.
