REGINA — Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he'll visit Washington next week to convince U.S. officials that imposing tariffs on Canadian goods is a bad idea and that he shares their concerns about border security.
Moe says having no tariffs ensures the United States and Canada stay economically strong, as both depend on each other's goods.
He also says he agrees with border security concerns raised by U.S. President Donald Trump.
The premier says drugs such as fentanyl must be kept out of communities and that Canada needs to stop them from coming in.
Moe is to visit the U.S. capital on Sunday to meet with officials before joining other premiers later in the week for a joint trade mission.
He then travels to Mexico to speak with exporters and promote trading.
