Conservative MP Jamil Jivani, who became close with Vance at Yale Law School 15 years ago, said it would not be “constructive” for JD Vance to visit right now given the Trump administration’s provocations toward Canada.

It’s a reversal from how he felt in December, when he accepted an invitation to dine with Vance in Arlington, Virginia. Jivani was also in Washington for Inauguration Day.

“They need to probably reconsider some of their rhetoric and their policy before coming to Canada,” Jivani said to POLITICO. “Our country should deserve more respect before being able to welcome them.”
