Alberta opposes Ottawa’s proposal to cut off energy exports to U.S., Danielle Smith says after Trump visit
January 13, 2025
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, who over the weekend lobbied U.S. president-elect Donald Trump at his resort in Florida, says she expects Mr. Trump to make good on his threat to impose tariffs on Canada, but she is opposed to Ottawa’s suggestion that it could retaliate by cutting off energy exports.“We need to be prepared that tariffs are coming,” Ms. Smith told reporters Monday morning. “The biggest irritant to the United States are trade deficits.”
Starting Tuesday, the United States will impose across-the-board tariffs of 25 per cent on Canadian goods and 10-per-cent tariffs on “energy resources.” The 25 per cent levy will also be placed on goods from Mexico, while Chinese goods will face an additional 10 per cent tariff. The Canadian government immediately announced retaliatory tariffs on many American products.Here is how Canadian premiers reacted on Saturday.
