Response to Canada-U.S. Tarif discussion: Statement from Premier Smith

The Voice of Canada News:

Premier Danielle Smith released the following statement after a meeting between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and incoming U.S. President Donald Trump.

“It is telling that one of the primary topics of discussion between incoming President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was oil and gas pipelines. It once again demonstrates that the path to strong security and economic relationships with the United States is directly tied to our nation’s commitment to providing the United States with the oil and gas it requires to achieve its energy security and affordability goals.

“We therefore reiterate our call to the Prime Minister to immediately scrap the Canadian oil and gas production cap and work with Alberta and all provinces to secure the border from illegal drugs and illegal migrants and, critically, to commence work on additional pipeline infrastructure between Canada and the United States.”
