Premier Danielle Smith says she’s inclined to keep Alberta’s trade sanctions on the United States amid shifting pronouncements from U.S. President Donald Trump.
Smith says she wants to get feedback from her United Conservative Party caucus about whether to keep the province’s ban on future purchases of U.S. booze and video lottery terminals.
Her government also announced earlier this week that it will prioritize buying from countries that don’t violate trade agreements.
Alberta, as well as other provinces and the federal government, are pushing ahead with trade sanctions despite a rollback this week from Trump.
