Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff strategy just hit a massive wall: Alberta’s oil industry. In this video, we break down how Canada—specifically the province of Alberta—is using its energy dominance to crush US trade demands and why this could be the biggest economic miscalculation of the Trump presidency.
While the White House pushes for a 25% tariff on Canadian imports, they failed to account for one critical fact: US refineries are addicted to Canadian heavy crude. Robert Reich explains the economics behind this trade war, why "energy independence" is a myth when it comes to refining capacity, and how Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s counter-threats could send US gas prices skyrocketing.
Is this the end of the US-Canada free trade era? Or did Trump just hand Canada all the leverage? We dive deep into the data, the politics, and the inevitable cost to the American consumer.
In this video, we cover:
The Tariff Trap: Why Trump’s 25% tariff threat on Canada is economically dangerous for the US.
Alberta’s "Nuclear Option": How cutting off oil exports would cripple the US Midwest and drive up inflation.
The Refinery Problem: Why US refineries cannot simply switch to American shale oil.
Reich’s Analysis: Who really pays the price for these protectionist policies (Hint: It’s not Canada).
The Political Fallout: How this trade war strengthens Canadian sovereignty and weakens US global standing.
