U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to impose 25 per cent tariffs on all products from Canada .

Canada sends 75 per cent of all goods and services exports to the United States .

Two federal ministers say a ban on Alberta energy exports may not be the best way to respond to the tariff threat.

Canada has been the top source of US oil imports for many years , and supplied more than half of the total US crude imports.

Smith has said she opposes not only a ban on Alberta ’s various energy products, but also any potential tariff.

Smith said cutting off pipeline supplies from going into the U.S. , would choke key supplies to Ontario and Quebec .

An export tax could be a bigger problem for Canadian producers if Canada were to put an import or export tax on top of the 25 per cent tariff proposed by Trump .
