U.S. President Donald Trump has imposed a new round of tariffs targeting Canada, Mexico and China.

Summary

Ontario Premier Doug Ford warned that Canada could cut electricity exports to the U.S. in retaliation for Donald Trump’s new tariffs on Canadian goods.

The U.S. imposed a 25% tariff on most Canadian imports, citing border security concerns. Ford emphasized that U.S. states like New York and Michigan rely on Canadian energy and should “feel the pain.”

Canadian officials also announced $155 billion in counter-tariffs.

If enacted, energy restrictions would likely raise prices in the U.S., escalating trade tensions between the two countries.

    Michigan, a swing state, is in the crosshairs as well. They already have frequent major outages in the Detroit metropolitan. I don’t think this will help.

      If Trump’s idiotic trade war with our allies turns blue states red, then it’s no longer quite as idiotic as we all think.

        You are clearly no longer an ally. You are a beligerant state with out working rule of law.
