Premier Danielle Smith has been urging more co-operation with the U.S., as President Donald Trump has threatened to impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods.
“Smith for a long time has said the border is Job No. 1 in dealing with the Americans and avoiding the Trump tariff threat that’s now right in our face.”
