Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is travelling to Washington, D.C., again to push against proposed tariffs from the United States on Canadian goods.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Moe was scheduled to leave Monday with a delegation of Saskatchewan business leaders in the steel and energy sectors. He\u2019s set to return Thursday.<\/p>\n

The premier was in the U.S. capital earlier this month and says he\u2019s going back to lessen tensions around the threat of tariffs.<\/p>\n

\u201cSaskatchewan companies play a critical role in North American food and energy security,\u201d Moe said in a press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe relationship between our jurisdictions has mutual benefit, and we are working with key stakeholders, industry leaders and government representatives on both sides of the border to build and protect our economies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saskatchewan exported $26 billion of goods to the U.S. in 2023, with potash and oil among its major exports. Agriculture products represent about 22 per cent of the province\u2019s total exports to the country.<\/p>\n

Business leaders on the trip include representatives from steelmaker Evraz North America, uranium producer Cameco Corp., and oil and gas producers Cenovus Energy Inc., Enbridge Inc. and Whitecap Resources Inc.<\/p>\n

Representatives from the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce are also attending.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough this mission, we aim to shape perspectives and inform decision-making by highlighting the economic consequences of tariffs on both of our economies,\u201d the chamber\u2019s CEO, Prabha Ramaswamy, said in the statement.<\/p>\n
