Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is calling for stronger Canada–U.S. relations, with a focus on addressing unfair Chinese trade practices as President-elect Donald Trump pledges to impose tariffs on Canadian goods.

“We can strengthen our partnership even further in the coming years by securing our shared border and fighting unfair Chinese trade practices that harm workers in both of our countries,” Smith wrote in a post on the social media platform X on Jan. 7.
