Trump Might Be Good for the U.S. Resource Sector - Politician

KITCO NEWS - Canada's former minister of foreign affairs John Baird says it's time to take President Donald Trump and his 'protectionist' government more seriously, even when it comes to mining. Speaking with Kitco News' Daniela Cambone in Toronto, he said the United States will become a lot more competitive as a mining jurisdiction under the Trump administration. "For Canadian companies that extract here, we're going to have to seek competitive advantage by getting our government to try to ensure our regulatory environment here is better than it is today," he said.
