The government of Alberta, led by Premier Danielle Smith, has paused its procurement policy initially designed to counter U.S. tariffs. This strategic suspension comes amid escalating trade tensions driven by American tariff measures, forcing the province to reassess its approach in protecting local economic interests. The decision reflects broader challenges faced by policymakers as they work to mitigate the negative impacts of international trade disputes on regional industries.
