Saskatchewan premier plans direct talks with U.S. over proposed tariffs

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe plans to contact the U.S. directly regarding proposed 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico. This follows U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's announcement to impose the tariffs starting in January. Trump stated the tariffs would remain until Canada and Mexico address illegal border crossings and drug trafficking. Moe expressed concerns that these tariffs would negatively impact Saskatchewan's export-driven economy. Saskatchewan exports billions in goods to the U.S., including crude oil, potash, and canola. Moe is collaborating with other provinces and the federal government to address the situation.
