Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says U.S. President Donald Trump “may not be entirely accurate with perceived facts” but is someone Canada must work with.
Moe says the U.S. will remain Canada’s largest trading partner beyond Trump’s term and Canada needs to find a path where free trade between both countries can continue.
He also says Canadian leaders need to move beyond “stick it” to Trump, because Canada’s economy would suffer in the long-term.
He adds that Canada will never become the 51st state of the U.S.
