Ontario premier warns Canada could cut electricity exports to US

businessinsider.com

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Canada could cut off electricity exports to the US in response to the trade war, stating "everything's on the table," including critical minerals and fuel. Ford said Canada can inflict "massive pain" on the US and urged provincial unity. He specifically mentioned cutting electricity exports entirely, as Canada supplied $3.3 billion worth to the US in 2025, with New York and Michigan as major importers. President Donald Trump threatened to raise tariffs on cars, steel, and auto parts to 50% starting January 2027, and personally criticized Ford. Canada plans retaliatory tariffs matching US duties dollar-for-dollar starting September 8.
