Ontario Premier Doug Ford threatened Monday to cut electricity and critical mineral exports to the U.S. if the trade dispute escalates, criticizing President Donald Trump's policies. Ford made the comments in an Associated Press interview, saying "everything is on the table" after trade talks collapsed Friday. He specifically vowed to halt critical mineral shipments, stating "you won't get a grain of sand out of Ontario." Trump separately announced plans for a 50% tariff on Canadian automobiles, car parts and steel starting next year, deepening the rift between the allies.
