Representatives from the Alberta Prosperity Project claim to have held multiple meetings with senior Trump administration officials, discussing the possibility of Alberta’s separation from Canada. These discussions reportedly included topics such as adopting the U.S. dollar and the development of an independent Albertan military. While the group insists they were not advocating for statehood, U.S. State Department officials have denied the presence of senior officials at these meetings and stated no commitments were made.
