Speaking in Grand Prairie on Wednesday on the intensifying Canada-U.S. trade war, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith revealed she thinks the federal government should be “de-escalating” rather than provoking President Donald Trump with newly announced counter-tariffs. “We must give our people and our businesses the resources they need to survive and give the American people and their leaders the time they need to reverse these terrible policies,” Smith said, further suggesting Canada be “more Canadian: too friendly, kind and helpful to resist.” Over the weekend, Trump levied import fees on nearly $28 billion worth of Canadian goods, with Prime Minister Mark Carney announcing dollar-for-dollar counter-tariffs that are set to kick in Sept. 8 on an array of items, ranging from American steel and aluminum products to video game consoles and fishing rods. Smith later shut down the idea of taking retaliations further by either cutting off or taxing Alberta’s oil supply to the U.S., saying, “I cannot think of a more disastrous policy decision… Doing so would absolutely devastate the Canadian economy.” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca/news/12035584/alberta-ndp-urges-smith-to-cancel-separation-vote-amid-canada-us-trade-war/ Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Follow Global News on X HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on TikTok HERE: https://www.tiktok.com/@globalnews.ca?lang=en #GlobalNews #Alberta #TradeWar
