Georgia Governor Brian Kemp speaks to reporters at the state capitol on April 25, 2023.

Gov. Kemp will lead a three-day trade mission to Canada next week amid an atmosphere of uncertainty prompted by a series of tariffs President Trump has imposed on the United States’ northern neighbor.

Kemp, joined by Georgia First Lady Marty Kemp and state Economic Development Commissioner Pat Wilson, will attend the 2025 Southeast U.S.-Canadian Provinces Alliance conference in Saint John, New Brunswick, which will run from June 8-10.

The alliance was established in 2007 to enhance trade and investment, promote cross-border business collaboration between the two countries, and create new trade opportunities through connections between the member Southeastern states and Canadian provinces.
