Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said she expects to meet Wednesday with members of U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration.

Notley said details will be made available once meetings are confirmed.

She said her message will include reinforcing the importance of cross-border trade between Alberta and the United States.

Notley has already met with members of the Heritage Foundation, an influential conservative Washington think tank viewed as a key policy influencer on the Trump administration.

She said the meeting helped her get a better sense of the Trump government’s viewpoint as it deliberates issues affecting Canada, including whether to impose a border tax.

The premier has also met with the governor and two senators from Montana, a key Alberta trading partner.
