Ontario premier says he will respond 'appropriately' to Trump's 50% tariffs
Bernd Debusmann Jr
We've just heard from Doug Ford, premier of Canada's most populous province Ontario. He was speaking on MSNBC when Trump said he would be doubling steel and aluminium tariffs.
On Monday, Ford announced his own tariffs in response to US President Donald Trump's tariffs against Canada. Ford announced a 25% surcharge on electricity exports that will affect 1.5 million homes and businesses across Minnesota, Michigan and New York.
Today, Ford says he loves Americans but "we will not back down" and "we will be relentless", claiming Trump has unleashed an "unprovoked attack" on Canada.
Ford says he will respond "appropriately" on the electricity surcharge, telling viewers to "stay tuned".
Ford then urges Trump to "stop the chaos", saying it is hurting American and Canadian families.
When Ford announced electricity surcharges for the US on Monday, he warned that if things escalated he "will not hesitate to shut off electricity completely".
