“Fine”: Trump dismisses Doug Ford’s threat to cut Americans off from Ontario energy

Ontario Premier Doug Ford threatened on Wednesday to “cut off” millions of American residents living in border states from Ontario’s energy exports as a response to U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s pledge of 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods. “We’re sending a message to the U.S. — You come and attack Ontario, you attack [the] livelihoods of people of Ontario and Canadians. We're going to use every tool in our toolbox to defend Ontarians and Canadians across the border,” Ford said. In response to a reporter’s question about Ford’s comments, Trump said Thursday that it was “fine” if the threat was followed through on. “The United States is subsidizing Canada. It’s really a subsidy and we shouldn't have to do that,” Trump said. “I have so many friends in Canada, but we shouldn’t have to subsidize a country and we subsidize them for more than $100 billion a year.” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca/news/10914068/energy-booze-and-critical-minerals-how-the-ford-government-plans-to-escalate-a-trade-war-with-the-u-s/ Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Like Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQ Follow Global News on X HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on Instagram HERE: https://bit.ly/2QZaZIB #GlobalNews #Trump #DougFord
