Alberta is actively discussing the construction of additional oil export pipelines to the US as Donald Trump re-assumes the presidency, seeking to capitalize on a more favorable political climate for oil trade. Premier Danielle Smith has engaged with major pipeline companies about expanding capacity before Trump takes office in January. Alberta, holding significant oil reserves and being a key supplier to the US, hopes to ensure that the US turns to Canadian oil instead of other sources like Iran or Venezuela. Despite existing tensions with the Canadian federal government over environmental regulations, Smith is prepared to negotiate with the Trump administration but requires changes to the federal emissions cap first.
