Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he would suspend the Canadian province’s 25% electricity surcharge on the United States on Tuesday afternoon – just hours after President Donald Trump announced additional tariffs on Canada’s steel and aluminum.
Ford, the conservative leader of Ontario, said on X he chose not to impose the surcharge on electricity exports to Michigan, New York and Minnesota after having a “productive conversation” about the economic relationship between Canada and the U.S. with Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick.
