Canadian head of state threatens Donald Trump - "We will cut off the Americans' energy" FOCUS Online • 18 hours • 1 minute reading time Doug Ford is threatening the USA with a halt to energy exports if Donald Trump introduces tariffs on Canadian products. Doug Ford, Prime Minister of the Canadian province of Ontario, has threatened to stop energy exports to the USA if President-elect Donald Trump implements his threatened 25 percent tariffs. "We will cut off the Americans' energy" After a meeting of Canadian provincial premiers in Ottawa, organized by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Ford warned: "We will cut off the Americans' energy - to Michigan, New York and Wisconsin. I don't want that, but my job is to protect Ontarians and Canadians." This is what "Politico" reports. Trump had announced that he would impose tariffs on all Canadian and Mexican imports if the countries did not do more to combat illegal immigration and drug trafficking. Ottawa has tried to reassure the Trump administration with low numbers of fentanyl and human trafficking. Nevertheless, Trump continued to fuel tensions with provocative social media posts. Counter-tariffs in the drawer Ford also stated that Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland would compile a list of American products that could be affected by counter-tariffs. Ford said: "We have to be ready. This fight is 100 percent coming." Politico reports that Canada responded with counter-tariffs on US products in 2018 after Trump imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum.
