Premier Danielle Smith has said Alberta needs to take action, but she won't curtail or impose financial payments on oil and gas shipments.

Alberta Premiere Danielle Smith has taken a ‘Team Canada’ stance after months of measures that could help prevent the looming 25% tariffs. The provincial head of US’s largest energy trade partner from Canada also visited Trump in Mar-a-Lago in January before his swearing-in in a bid to ease threats.

Smith told an audience of municipal leaders Friday that the trade war with the United States is creating an "administrative and technical nightmare" for many Alberta businesses and exporters.
