Ontario leader threatens to halt energy exports to US if Trump imposes tariffs

Premier of Canada’s largest province says ‘we need to be ready to fight’ back against possible 25% tariffs on goods

The leader of Canada’s largest province says he’s prepared to halt energy exports to the United States, warning that other premiers “need to be ready to fight” as threats escalate ahead of possible American tariffs.

The Ontario premier, Doug Ford, says he’s weighing options to fight back against a 25% levy on all Canadian goods that the US president-elect Donald Trump has pledged to implement when he assumes office.
