Alberta Premier Notley expects to meet with members of Trump administration
EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says she expects to meet face to face Wednesday with members of U.S. President Donald Trump’s government as she continues a visit to Washington, D.C.
“I’m not going to get into specific names until those meetings are finally confirmed, but, yes, we do anticipate meeting with people in the Trump administration,” Notley said Tuesday in a conference call from the U.S. capital.
Trump is contemplating changes to the trade relationship with Canada, including a new border tax. He also said during Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s recent visit that he would like to tweak the North American Free Trade Agreement to make it better for both countries.
Notley held numerous meetings Monday with U.S. officials, policy-makers and advisers. They included Montana senators Jon Tester and Steve Daines and the state’s governor, Steve Bullock.
