Ontario’s Premier To Trump: “We Won’t Back Down”

Canada’s Global News reports:

Ontario “won’t back down” after U.S. President Donald Trump called for a further tariff hike in response to the province’s 25 per cent export tax on electricity. Premier Doug Ford delivered that remark in an interview with MSNBC Tuesday morning, within an hour after Trump said he’ll add an additional 25 per cent tariff to Canadian steel and aluminum.

Those tariffs, which were initially set to be imposed at a rate of 25 per cent, will now be 50 per cent should Trump stay true to his word. “We will not back down. We will be relentless,” Ford said. “I apologize to the American people that President Trump decided to have an unprovoked attack on our country, on families, on jobs. It’s unacceptable.”

Doug Ford: “If we go into a recession, it’s self-made by one person. It’s called ‘President Trump’s recession.’ It shouldn’t be this way. We should be booming. Both countries.”
