OTTAWA — Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland hinted on Tuesday but would not confirm that she has Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s support to continue in her role after days of public speculation over her political future.

At a press conference in Markham, Ont., Freeland revealed that she had a “long conversation” with Trudeau on Friday, the day after a national newspaper reported on alleged tensions between her office and the Prime Minister’s Office. Freeland had spent most of Saturday with Trudeau in the Greater Toronto Area and also met him in Ottawa on Monday.
