Ontario Premier Doug Ford warned on Monday that Canada could restrict electricity and critical mineral exports to the United States if its trade dispute with Washington escalates. The premier told The Associated Press that Canadians are ready to endure economic pain rather than give in to US pressure.
The news came after Prime Minister Mark Carney abruptly ended trade negotiations with the Trump administration on Friday. Carney accused the American government of introducing last-minute demands that Canada considered unfair and economically unacceptable. The breakdown deepened an already serious cross-border trade dispute.
