DAVOS (Sputnik) — The minister added that he had a chance to exchange views with member of Trump's Transition Team Anthony Scaramucci at Davos during a joint session.
"We have a relationship which is very broad and very comprehensive. Our economies are much integrated. So we are going to build on that, and we are already in discussion with our American friends, and we are going to find points of contact," Champagne said.
According to the minister, Trump's team understood that Canada has a very special relationship with the United States, especially in trade.
"They [Trump's team] understand the extent of the relationship and the benefits that it has provided over decades for both sides," Champagne said.
The minister said that 35 states of the United States had Canada as their biggest export market, and 9 million US jobs depended on trade with Canada.
