Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe urged Canadians to tune out the daily rhetorical "noise" surrounding the U.S. trade relationship, advising a steady focus on long-term continental trade goals as cross-border tensions continue to test ongoing trade deal negotiations.

According to MooseJawToday, the Premier’s remarks were delivered at the Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Show last week.
