US government officials held a meeting with Canadian separatists pushing for the secession of the country’s western, oil-rich Alberta province, sources told the Financial Times (FT) in a new report.

“Officials in the [US President] Donald Trump administration discussed loaning Alberta $500 million to break up Canada and make it the 51st state,” one of the sources said.

Jeff Rath, legal advisor to the Alberta Prosperity Project (APP), told the outlet that Washington is pushing for an “independent” Alberta.

The report adds that leaders of the APP are seeking another meeting next month with officials from the US State and Treasury Departments in order to request a $500-million credit facility to fund the secession.
