While speaking during a panel discussion hosted by the Calgary Chamber of Commerce, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith was asked a question on President Donald Trump’s claim that the United States must eliminate the trade deficit with Canada, given the majority of that deficit is in oil and gas.

“It’s a little bit cheeky, but I have told the secretary I could always sell 2 million barrels of oil to someone else other than the United States, if they would like us to, because that’s essentially the trade deficit.”
