Alberta Edge host Ryan Hastman speaks with Alberta's new senior representative to the U.S., Nathan Cooper, and Bloomberg News White House correspondent Josh Wingrove.

They discuss Alberta's evolving relationship with Washington amid the turbulence of Donald Trump's second term. Cooper outlines his role advocating for Alberta's interests, while Wingrove provides context on Trump's transactional foreign policy. The conversation sheds light on Alberta's push to assert its brand, protect its exports, and find common ground with both allies and adversaries.
