With LNG Canada and other projects advancing, Canada is entering a broader energy-infrastructure boom rather than a one-off build-out. For upstream companies like Canadian Natural Resources, that shift lifts realized gas pricing, strengthens margins, and expands long‑term cash‑flow potential.
Trump trade policies could deeply impact global gas markets: “His opening salvo in a US-China trade war has been fired, with 10% tariffs on Chinese goods and retaliatory 15% tariffs on US LNG, while his stance on Russia remains unclear," Rystad Energy commented. Closer to home, Trump's 10% tariff on Canadian gas drives up prices, squeezes profit margins of smaller producers and could potentially lead to production cuts and delayed investments.
