Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says Canada can be a key ally in helping the United States achieve energy and AI dominance in its competition with China, and that doing so would strengthen trade ties while aligning Canada with a nation that shares its democratic values.
Smith made the comments on Jan. 25 during her weekly phone-in radio show, “Your Province, Your Premier.” She was discussing diplomatic strategies for avoiding U.S. President Donald Trump’s threatened tariffs.
