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.

    keep in mind Americans are not all awful

    Thnx for the reminder. I am trying, but I admit it’s not easy nowadays so it’s needed every now and then. I think by far the biggest part of Europe won’t argue when I say we totally lost trust and respect for the USA.

      Surprised you had trust and respect for the USA in the first place, have you already forgotten all the countries the USA have illegally invaded?

      Just keep it in mind when some of us start needing to flee. Some of us just want to be safe from the fascists and to work together with our neighbors around the world in a cooperative way.

      The few of us that aren’t awful are fair sacrifices, please, do whatever it takes to dethrone the maniacs.
