Trump announces National Energy Council to boost U.S. energy dominance and trade with Canada

President-elect Donald Trump announced the creation of a National Energy Council to promote U.S. energy dominance. North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum will lead the council, which aims to streamline energy regulations and enhance private sector investments. Experts suggest this could benefit Canada by strengthening trade ties, despite potential tariff threats. Burgum's experience with Canadian energy and his focus on carbon neutrality may foster collaboration between the two countries. While some Canadian observers are optimistic, others caution that Trump's energy policies could impact Canadian oil prices. The situation remains complex as Canada navigates its own emissions regulations alongside U.S. energy strategies.
