Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson is in the U.S. capital this week in hopes of forging an energy and minerals alliance with the Trump administration, which has just paused its tariffs on Canada.

Wilkinson said the 30-day tariff reprieve is “welcome news” for the Canadian and U.S. economies and that he hopes to increase collaboration between the two countries to make North America “affordable, safe and prosperous.”
