Doug Ford has warned he will shut off power to 1.5 million US customers amid Trump’s new tariffs

A Canadian Premier has claimed he will shut off power to 1.5 million US customers after Donald Trump announced controversial new tariffs.

Shortly after his return to the White House in January, President Trump signed off on an order imposing ‘catastrophic’ tariffs to ‘hold China, Mexico and Canada accountable for their promises to halt the flood of poisonous drugs into the US’ by placing 25 percent tariffs on goods imported from Canada and Mexico, and 10 percent on China.

The 47th POTUS explained how the only ‘solution’ for Canada to avoid the tariff is to become the US’ ‘cherished 51st State’.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement released on Monday (March 3): “Today, after a 30-day pause, the United States administration has decided to proceed with imposing 25 percent tariffs on Canadian exports and 10 per cent tariffs on Canadian energy. Let me be unequivocally clear – there is no justification for these actions.”
