Joly has already been in contact with Mexico's Foreign Minister and plans to contact the UK and EU this week, she announces.
The core of my talks with the Brits and Europeans will be how to respond to the tariffs. Our view is that it should be coordinated.
USA's President Donald Trump has threatened to impose tariffs of 25 percent on Canadian and Mexican goods, unless further measures are taken to prevent migrants and illegal drugs from entering the USA.
Melanie Joly wants to see increased trade between Canada and the EU to reduce dependence on the American market. At the same time, she is optimistic that Canada can still avoid the tariffs.
Our goal is to ensure that tariffs are prevented and we believe we can do it. We believe that diplomacy can work, she says.
Joly is to meet with USA's Foreign Minister Marco Rubio in Washington on Wednesday.
