Ontario Premier Doug Ford has drawn the line in the sand by threatening to cut off electricity to the United States. This bold move targets key states like New York, Michigan, and Minnesota. Ford intensified the situation by slapping a 25% surcharge on electricity exports to America, declaring, “We keep the lights on for 1.5 million homes in manufacturing in New York, in Michigan, and in Minnesota.” He further warned of shutting down the electricity if his demands aren’t met.
Firing back with the strength only President Trump can muster, he took to Truth Social to announce an additional 25% tariff on aluminum and steel imports from Canada, pushing the total tariff to a hefty 50%. Trump’s stance is clear—Canada must abolish its exorbitant dairy tariffs, which currently range from 250% to 390% on American farmers.
Displaying his commitment to safeguarding American interests, Trump hinted at raising tariffs on Canadian automobiles if they don’t relent. This move could devastate Canada’s auto industry. He reminded Canada of its significant reliance on the U.S. for military protection, a service that costs the American taxpayer over 200 billion dollars annually.
In a strategic suggestion, Trump proposed that Canada could join the United States as the 51st state, a move that would dissolve tariffs and ease the tax burden on Canadians, leading to a fortified and united nation.
President Trump firmly warned Canada of the historical repercussions they would face if they follow through with cutting off electricity to the United States. The message is clear and uncompromising.
