In 2023, Alberta exported $156.3 billion worth of goods to the United States, which accounted for 89 percent of the province's total exports. Crude petroleum was the largest export, totaling $113.4 billion, or 73 percent of the total. President-Elect Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 25 percent tariff on all products from Canada and Mexico starting on his first day in office. This move raises concerns about its impact on Alberta's economy. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith urged the federal government to address the situation, emphasizing the importance of the trade relationship with the U.S. She called for a meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to discuss Canada-U.S. relations.
