Excluding gas  exports, the United States actually sells more to Canada than Canada sells to the  United States.

As  I have told every American  politician I have met  in recent months, Canada buys more from the  United States than any  other country  in the world - more than  the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy and Vietnam combined. There  is therefore no economic justification for  imposing tariffs on Canadian  products. Alberta will continue  its diplomatic efforts in the United States to persuade the  President of the United States, lawmakers,  administration officials and the American people to  remove all tariffs on Canadian goods as soon as possible and repair our relationship with the United States. I encourage all  premiers and federal officials to do the same, especially as the effects of these tariffs  are beginning to  be felt south of the border. Americans  must understand the  dire consequences of this policy  decision.
Alberta will also work with  the federal government and  other provinces  to find a proportionate response to the U.S.  tariffs, strategically targeting Canadian tariffs on U.S.  products that are more  readily sourced from  Canadian suppliers, rather than the United States. This will minimize costs to Canadian consumers while creating maximum impact south of the border. All funds raised  through these tariffs should go directly to Canadians most  affected by U.S.  tariffs.
Alberta, however,  will continue to  strongly oppose any  attempt to ban exports to the  United States or to tax our  citizens and businesses on  products that leave Canada for the United States. Such tactics would  make Canadians far  worse off than  Americans.
We also continue  to call  on Alberta to designate a  Border Patrol to coordinate the  security of our border against illegal  immigration and  drug trafficking in both  directions and to  fulfill our  country's NATO commitment to spend 2% of GDP  on border security by 2027.  This is a commitment that must be  made for the  security of all  Canadians, regardless of our trade dispute with the United  States.
Despite the disappointment of today's  decision, an incredible opportunity  awaits us as a nation. Canada can and must now  join in an unprecedented effort to preserve the  lives and futures of our people and  to expand our political and  commercial relationships  around the  world. We can no longer afford to be so  dependent on  a single major client. We must stop limiting our  own prosperity and  causing ourselves economic  harm.
Instead, we  need to unleash the true economic  potential
