U.S. Treasury Secretary weighs in on Alberta separatism, calls province ‘natural partner’
January 23, 2026
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Thursday goaded Prime Minister Mark Carney and directly referenced Alberta’s potential independence referendum, calling the Western province “a natural partner for the U.S.”
Mr. Bessent’s comments, made in a Thursday interview with American right-wing media personality Jack Posobiec, make him the highest-profile member of the Trump administration to weigh in on Alberta’s potential independence vote – and adds to the steady drumbeat of allies of U.S. President Donald Trump who appear to be watching the campaign.
