Carney Offered to Double Oil Exports to U.S. as Part of Potential Deal, Hoekstra Says

Mark Carney offered to double Canada’s oil exports to the United States as part of a potential deal, Opposition figure Pieter Hoekstra said. Hoekstra said the proposal was discussed in the context of broader negotiations intended to reduce friction between the two economies, linking energy exports to potential policy or market concessions. He did not provide further specifics on what the U.S. would grant in return, nor did he outline a timetable for talks. Carney’s camp had not immediately offered additional detail in Hoekstra’s comments.
