Canadian leader meets with Trump at Mar-a-Lago to discusses energy relationship

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and President-elect Trump met on Saturday and discussed the ‘mutual importance’ of a U.S.-Canadian energy relationship and the hundreds of thousands of American jobs supported through Albertan exports.

‘Over the last 24 hours I had the opportunity to meet President [Trump] at Mar-a-Lago last night and at his golf club this morning,’ Smith wrote in a post on X. ‘We had a friendly and constructive conversation during which I emphasized the mutual importance of the U.S. – Canadian energy relationship, and specifically, how hundreds of thousands of American jobs are supported by energy exports from Alberta.’

She continued, saying she had similar discussions with ‘several key allies’ of Trump’s incoming administration in which she became encouraged to hear about their support for ‘a strong energy and security relationship with Canada.’

‘On behalf of Albertans, I will continue to engage in constructive dialogue and diplomacy with the incoming administration and elected federal and state officials from both parties, and will do all I can to further Alberta’s and Canada’s interests,’ Smith said. ‘The United States and Canada are both proud and independent nations with one of the most important security alliances on earth and the largest economic partnership in history. We need to preserve our independence while we grow this critical partnership for the benefit of Canadians and Americans for generations to come.’

Smith posted about the meeting on X, nearly a week after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation amid growing pressure from within his own Liberal Party and heightened criticisms over his handling of the economy and threats levied by Trump.

However, as Trudeau announced on Monday his plan to resign as prime minister once the Liberal Party that he leads chooses his successor, the biggest pushback to Trump’s pitch to annex Canada – and his planned 25% tariffs on exports from the country – has come from the premier of Canada’s most populous province, Ontario.

Doug Ford, a former businessman and conservative who has served as Ontario’s 26th premier since 2018, told Fox News Digital in an interview that the president-elect’s targeting Canada is both ‘crazy’ and ‘ridiculous.’

He said the bilateral focus should be on ‘strengthening’ what the Canadian government calls a nearly trillion-dollar two-way trade relationship to ‘make the U.S. and Canada the richest and most prosperous jurisdiction in the world.’

The president-elect has been trolling Canada in recent weeks, floating the idea of it becoming the 51st state and posting a doctored photo of him standing beside a Canadian flag on top of a mountain.

Trump has also been pushing for Denmark to sell the North Atlantic island of Greenland to the U.S.
