Summary
U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra shuts down claims the Trump administration is secretly backing Alberta separatists, calling them outright false and saying no meetings or financial support are being discussed — despite reports of Alberta Prosperity Project leaders meeting with U.S. officials. Hoekstra insists the fate of Alberta lies solely with its people and Canada’s federal government, contrasting sharply with past U.S. administrations. Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s praise for Alberta’s independence has sparked backlash from Canadian premiers, and Hoekstra confirms the U.S. won’t intervene in any future referendums.
