The new U.S. administration can lower domestic energy prices by helping to lower the cost of operations according to the U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright speaking with CNBC.
- On the potential impact to Canadian flows to the U.S. if 10% tariffs are enacted, Wright said “I don’t think we’re going to see that change,” “I know we have had very productive conversations with Canadian officials,”
- Wright was non-committal when pressed on the potential for tariffs to add inflationary pressures for U.S. consumers, referring for the need to secure national security at the U.S. borders.
