Vermont delegation buys Quebec goods, opposing Trump's policies

A Vermont delegation purchased Quebec products in Montreal to show solidarity against U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policies and political tensions. This symbolic act aimed to express support for Quebec and its economy. Vermont officials, including the state's Secretary of the Treasury and the Mayor of Burlington, shopped at Montreal's Jean-Talon Market. They sought to counter Trump's policies and the potential for annexation, which they strongly oppose. The event, organized by citizens, highlighted the close economic ties between Vermont and Quebec, particularly in tourism and trade. The delegation's actions also served to counter Trump's rhetoric and express friendship.
