Canada threatens to cut power supply to major US cities including New York, Michigan, and Minnesota
Following Donald Trump’s imposition of 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, Canada has responded by threatening to cut the power supply to three major US cities if the tariff is not removed.
Speaking to reporters at a mining convention in Toronto, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he is prepared to cut off electricity exports to the U.S. if President Trump’s 25 percent tariffs on Canadian goods go through.

“If they want to try to annihilate Ontario, I will do everything — including cut off their energy with a smile on my face,” Dough told the reporters.
“If he wants to destroy our economy and our family, I will shut down the electricity going down to the US… It’s unfortunate, I’d rather ship you more electricity,” he said.
“They rely on our energy, they need to feel the pain. They want to come at us hard, we’re going to come back twice as hard.”
