Saskatchewan’s Premier is back in Washington, D.C. alongside several businesses and organizations to underscore with U.S. decision makers and business leaders the importance of a strong integrated economy, rather than the threatened tariffs. Scott Moe explains that he is returning to Washington to continue the efforts in de-escalating the threat of potential tariffs from our largest trading partner. The businesses and organizations represented are Cameco, Evraz, Arizona Lithium, Cenovus, Whitecap Resources, Enbridge, North American Helium and the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce.

Agriculture Minister Daryl Harrison is also heading to Washington for the Winter Policy Conference of the National Association of State Department of Agriculture this week. He believes it will be an opportunity to talk about pressing agriculture and food policy issues. Harrison says attending the conference allows us to showcase Saskatchewan’s world-class agri-food products and the contribution we make to North American competitiveness and food security.

In 2024, Saskatchewan’s top exports to the U.S. were crude oil ($12.5 billion), potash ($4.2 billion), and canola oil ($2.9 billion). Agri-food products represented 21.9 per cent of total exports. The mission runs today (Mon) through Thursday.
