Alberta’s premier responds to Trump’s trolling by saying Canada’s oil helps make America wealthy

Associated Press  

TORONTO — Alberta’s premier responded to President-elect Donald Trump’s trolling of Canada on Wednesday by saying the trade deficit with the country is due to billions in raw materials being sent south which creates trillions of wealth in America. “Fair question on the trade deficit with Canada Mr. President @realDonaldTrump - the reason for this is because Canada sends billions of raw materials to your U.S. refineries and factories which your great American companies and workers upgrade and sell around the world, including back to Canada,” Smith posted on X. Alberta sends 4.3 million barrels of oil and gas to the U.S each day. Smith said millions of American jobs and companies rely “on these affordable raw materials from Canada to make trillions of dollars of wealth in your country.” About 60% of U.S. crude oil imports and 85% of U.S. electricity imports are from Canada. Her comments come a day after Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Trump’s plan to impose sweeping 25% tariffs on all Canada products would be a “disaster” that would hurt U.S. stock markets.
