Alberta won't support feds plan to deal with Trump tariffs, Smith says

Alberta will not support a joint statement from other premiers and the Prime Minister regarding tariffs on Canadian goods from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, according to Premier Danielle Smith.
Premier Danielle Smith stated, 'Until these threats cease, Alberta will not be able to fully support the federal government’s plan in dealing with the threatened tariffs.'
Smith plans to meet with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago home to discuss the tariffs and strengthen trade relations with the U.S.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford criticized Smith's decision, suggesting it plays into Trump's strategy and called for a strong response from Canada.
