EDMONTON, AB – Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said, no matter the outcome of the United States presidential election, there will be challenges for Canada and Alberta.
Smith is meeting with lawmakers on Capitol Hill for the first time since becoming premier in 2022, to promote Alberta’s energy industry and environmental technologies.
The premier says both President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump have promised protectionist policies that would harm or restrict trade with Canada.
Trump, who has become the Republican party front-runner in the race, has proposed a 10 per cent tariff on all imported goods to the U.S.
