Ontario's Ford threatens US power, mineral cuts in tariff fight
What's new: Ford said "everything is on the table" after Prime Minister Mark Carney walked away from trade talks Friday.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford threatened to cut electricity exports and shipments of critical minerals to the United States if the trade dispute with President Donald Trump deepens. In interviews Monday, Ford said Ontario could block supplies the US depends on and argued Trump's tariff policy would damage American industries, from auto production to agriculture. He also invoked former President Ronald Reagan's free-trade views in attacking the tariffs. The warning came after Prime Minister Mark Carney halted trade talks on Friday, escalating tensions between Ottawa and Washington as both sides weigh further economic retaliation.
