New Brunswick considers electricity cut to northern Maine

New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt stated that cutting off electricity to northern Maine is unlikely, despite ongoing trade tensions with the U.S. However, she noted that the situation could change. During a news briefing, Holt addressed residents' concerns about the economic impact of U.S. tariffs. She outlined measures her government is taking, including removing American alcohol from stores and providing support for local businesses. Holt mentioned that while surcharges on exported electricity are possible, the province is cautious due to its reliance on Maine for power during peak demand times.
