Poilievre on Rogan Podcast Pushes Tariff-Free Trade

Canadian Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre recorded an interview with podcaster Joe Rogan this week in Austin, Texas, aiming to advocate for tariff-free trade between Canada and the United States ahead of upcoming negotiations under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement.

The episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," one of the world's most popular podcasts with over 20 million subscribers on YouTube and nearly 15 million on Spotify, is scheduled for release Thursday afternoon. Full-length episodes typically run two to three hours. Poilievre, who leads the opposition Conservative Party, described the conversation as an effort to build support among Americans for removing tariffs on Canadian goods such as autos, steel, aluminum and lumber. "I wanted to maximize Canadian leverage going in, and one of the biggest leverage points we have to fight for tariff-free trade... is the goodwill of the American people," Poilievre said Thursday morning outside the New York Stock Exchange, where he was preparing to deliver a keynote address to the Foreign Policy Institute and meet with U.S. investors.
