Ex-Alberta Premier Says Oil Should Be on the Table in U.S. Tariff War

A former Alberta premier has argued that oil should be placed on the negotiating table as Canada responds to a tariff dispute with the United States. The proposal suggests using Canada’s energy exports as economic leverage while seeking relief from tariffs or trade concessions. Supporters may view the approach as a way to protect Canadian industries, while critics could warn that restricting energy flows might hurt producers, consumers, and relationships. Federal and provincial leaders will weigh strategy’s political and economic risks.
