The Albertan independentist crisis refers to the diplomatic fallout from contacts made between the United States Trump administration and the Alberta Prosperity Project beginning in April 2025 and continuing in the following year. Canada, upon discovering these meetings, called them a violation of its sovereignty and foreign interference from the US. The Trump administration responded by stating that the US regularly meets with civil society groups as part of routine engagement and that the meetings did not represent official support for Albertan separatism.
