Alberta Premier Danielle Smith extends congratulations to Donald Trump on U.S. presidential win

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she looks forward to working with the new administration of Donald Trump and JD Vance following their early morning election win.

She congratulated the pair on the behalf of the Government of Alberta, saying the province and the United States have a long-standing trading partnership that has strengthened economies and improved quality of life.

“Alberta is a critical part of North American energy security as the single largest supplier of crude oil and natural gas to the United States — providing twice as twice as much as Mexico, Saudi Arabia and Iraq combined,” Smith said in post to social media platform, X. ” We look forward to reinforcing Alberta’s ties in the United States and working together with the new administration on this partnership.”

In his congratulatory remarks, posted to social media, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also highlighted the importance of a good trade relationship between the U.S. and Canada, especially given the Canada-U.S.-Mexico free trade agreement is up for review in 2026.
