Trump slams Canada: ‘Keep your cars!’ in fiery tariff clash
Trump slammed Canada as a “tariff abuser” after Ontario imposed a 25% electricity surcharge on three US states. He insisted the US no longer needed Canadian cars, lumber, or energy.
Trump’s comments followed Ontario’s decision to raise electricity export tariffs for 1.5 million consumers in Minnesota, New York, and Michigan. Premier Doug Ford warned of further hikes and even a complete shutdown if the US escalated the trade dispute.
Trump has long disrupted US-Canada trade with tariffs and has even suggested annexing Canada. His latest remarks intensified tensions, fueling uncertainty in bilateral relations.
