Part 4/9:
The idea of creating a 50-year oil purchase agreement is proposed as a key strategy. This would ensure that every barrel of Canadian oil could be committed to U.S. markets, allowing both nations to stabilize their respective economic futures amidst uncertainties. By fostering an energy alliance, the U.S. could benefit from predictable pricing and supply while providing Canada with a security blanket against fluctuating policy decisions and potential sanctions or tariffs.
Notably, seeking collaborative solutions rather than confrontational ones would allow both countries to align interests within the context of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which already grants preferential access to Canadian energy resources for U.S. firms.
