Meetings planned in Tennessee

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is set to meet with U.S. officials next week, after recently saying she wants to see Canada double down on diplomacy and avoid any further escalations of their trade war.
Smith’s press secretary, Sam Blackett, said the premier had a previously planned personal trip to the United States but will take time out to speak with the officials, alongside Alberta’s senior U.S. representative, Nathan Cooper.
Blackett said in a statement Friday that they will meet with the commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development, the head of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce and the CEO of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp.
Smith said Wednesday after Canada-U.S. trade talks fell apart last week that the United States had “no excuse for their behaviour” but that she didn’t think Canada could win through “brute force.”
