Ontario Premier Doug Ford said three states would face tariffs on electricity after a week of President Trump’s swipes at Canada with fluctuating trade policies. “I love Americans. It’s been 20 years of my life.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he's going ahead with plans to impose 25% tariffs on electricity sent to Michigan, New York and Minnesota.
Ontario is moving forward with a 25% tariff on electricity exported to Michigan, New York, and Minnesota, despite a temporary reprieve on US tariffs. Premier Doug Ford insists the tariff will be implemented Monday unless President Trump removes all tariff threats permanently.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford said that his province is prepared to add a 25% surcharge on the electricity it exports to Michigan.
“People are going to be losing their jobs in the U.S. and in Canada, and inflation is happening already. If there’s one thing the market doesn’t like is uncertainty. The market is going downhill quicker than the American bobsled team.”
Ontario Premier Doug Ford threatened to impose a 25% surcharge on or shut off the electricity the province exports to Michigan, New York and Minnesota.
Ford announced retaliatory plans shortly after Trump implemented tariffs against Canada.
