Moe says about 94% of Saskatchewan exports remain tariff free despite new U.S. orders targeting Canadian goods.
- Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said on Tuesday that recent United States trade escalation will have a minor impact on his province.

- United States Trade Representative Greer called the escalation "a natural consequence," while Moe's government continues working with businesses feeling the brunt of the trade dispute.
- Moe maintains the goal should be zero tariffs across the board, arguing that trade barriers harm both Canadian and American businesses and workers.
