Quebec Premier Christine Fr\u00e9chette will travel to Washington<\/a> on Monday for her first official foreign mission.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She will arrive there just as the U.S. capital has been shaken by what appears to be another assassination attempt targeting President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

The visit comes just two months before trade negotiations begin on the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement, scheduled for July 1.<\/p>\n

Quebec companies have been significantly impacted by a series of tariffs introduced by the Trump administration since he took office in 2025.<\/p>\n

She also plans to hold talks with congressional contacts whose names have not been disclosed.<\/p>\n
