Alberta Premier Danielle Smith made a bold statement on Wednesday, declaring that Alberta’s energy resources are Canada’s “secret weapon” in the battle against U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs. Smith emphasized the vast reserves of oil and natural gas in Alberta, highlighting their size and accessibility compared to those in the United States. She emphasized that the U.S. not only currently relies on Alberta’s resources but will increasingly need them in the future.
Smith criticized Trump’s tariffs, calling them “unjustified” and a violation of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement. In response to these actions, Alberta plans to expand its oil and gas pipeline infrastructure to reach international markets in Asia and Europe.
The premier’s comments shed light on the significant role that Alberta’s energy sector plays not only in Canada’s economy but also in global trade. As tensions rise between Canada and the U.S., Alberta’s energy resources may indeed prove to be a crucial asset in the ongoing trade dispute.
