Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she supports counter-tariffs announced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, but is against imposing levies on energy exports to the United States.

Smith made the comments on March 4 after President Donald Trump’s tariffs of 25 percent on Canadian goods and 10 percent on Canadian energy took effect.
