  "summary": "Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has publicly urged against placing tariffs on Canadian oil exports to the US, describing such a move as \"disastrous\". She called for a return to the negotiating table between Ottawa and Washington as trade tensions escalate.\n\nThe Canada-US trade war is intensifying, with Canadian tariffs already in place on $27.6 billion worth of US goods. Smith has been advocating for a more conciliatory approach in trade negotiations.\n\nSmith is set to provide an update on the tariffs. According to the National Post, she warned that tariffs on Canadian oil exports would unnecessarily exacerbate the trade conflict.",
