OTTAWA — Canada is considering cutting off its energy supply to the United States should President-elect Donald Trump impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian goods.
“Everything is on the table,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Wednesday, following a meeting with Canada’s provincial and territorial premiers.
The leader of Canada’s oil-rich province, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, kept her name off a joint statement from the leaders that attempted to project a united front against an economic attack from Trump that is just days away.
“Federal government officials continue to publicly and privately float the idea of cutting off energy supply to the U.S. and imposing export tariffs on Alberta energy and other products to the United States,” Smith posted on X. “Until these threats cease, Alberta will not be able to fully support the federal government’s plan in dealing with the threatened tariffs.”
