Canadians should be prepared to face US tariffs once Donald Trump assumes the presidency next week, with no exemptions for oil, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith warned after meeting the president-elect in Florida.
The conservative leader of Canada’s main oil-producing province met with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort over the weekend. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in an interview on MSNBC that Canada will respond with counter-tariffs against the US if Trump follows through on his threat to impose a 25% levy on Canadian goods.
