The premier of Canada's most populous province said Wednesday he will cut off energy to the United States if President-elect Donald Trump imposes sweeping tariffs on all Canadian products.Trump has threatened to impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico unless they stem the flow of migrants and drugs.맥스카지노�We're going to put our list together, and I'm sure the other provinces will as well. But we will go to the full extent, depending on how far this goes. We will go to the extent of cutting off their energy,맥스카지노� Ontario Premier Doug Ford said after meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other provincial premiers.Ford said he didn't want this to happen but wasn't optimistic Canada could avoid tariffs.맥스카지노�This fight is 100% coming on Jan. 20 or Jan. 21,맥스카지노� he said, referencing to the date of Trump맥스카지노�s inauguration.맥스카지노�We will use every tool in our tool box to fight back. We can맥스카지노�t sit back and roll over. We just won맥스카지노�t as a country. And isn맥스카지노�t this a shame, our closest friends and allies."About 60% of U.S. crude oil imports are from Canada, and 85% of U.S. electricity imports as well.It wasn't immediately clear if Ford was talking about all Canadian provinces cutting off energy exports to the U.S. or just his province. But a spokeswoman for Ford, Grace Lee, said it was raised in the call between Trudeau and the provincial premiers.맥스카지노�Premier Ford can only speak on behalf of Ontario, but its an area of provincial jurisdiction that we would certainly look at,맥스카지노� Lee said in an email.Lee noted Ontario powered 1.5 million homes in the U.S. in 2023 and is a major exporter of electricity to Michigan, Minnesota and New York.Trump맥스카지노�s transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the threat.Canada is also the largest foreign supplier of steel, aluminum and uranium to the U.S. and has 34 critical minerals and metals that the Pentagon is eager for and investing for national security.맥스카지노�Canada, of course, will respond to unjustified tariffs,맥스카지노� Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said after the meeting.Freeland said a number of provincial premiers voiced support for a robust response to the tariffs and said that included critical minerals that are exported to the U.S.She didn't specifically mention oil but said 맥스카지노�obviously other ideas were discussed as well맥스카지노� when asked if Canada is considering cutting off oil exports to America.About a third of Canada's trade to the U.S. is energy.Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US $2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states.Canada has promised more border security spending to address Trump's concerns. Ford said that will include more border and police officers as well as drones and sniffer dogs.맥스카지노�A priority will be to share details of this plan with the incoming Trump administration and with Canadians in the coming days,맥스카지노� Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc said.Trudeau said this week tariffs would be 맥스카지노�absolutely devastating맥스카지노� for the Canadian economy, but it would also mean real hardship for Americans.Economists say companies would have little choice but to pass along the added costs, dramatically raising prices for food, clothing, automobiles, alcohol and other goods.The Produce Distributors Association, a Washington-based trade group, has said tariffs will raise prices for fresh fruit and vegetables and hurt U.S. farmers when the countries retaliate.Canada imposed duties in 2018 against the U.S. in a tit-for-tat response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminum.Canada맥스카지노�s central bank, meanwhile, lowered its key interest rate by half a percentage point on Wednesday and called Trump맥스카지노�s threat to impose sweeping new tariffs on Canada 맥스카지노�a major source of new uncertainty.맥스카지노�맥스카지노�We did underline that the threat of new tariffs on Canadian exports, particularly at the level suggested, that is a major source of new uncertainty,맥스카지노� Bank of Canada Tiff Macklem said at a press conference. 맥스카지노�But the reality is we don't know if those tariffs are going to be implemented."We don't know if exemptions are going to be agreed on some parts, we don't know at what level, we don't know if Canada will take retaliatory measures.맥스카지노�Trudeau, meanwhile, got the attention of billionaire Elon Musk, a big supporter of Trump, with comments he made Tuesday lamenting that U.S. voters selected Trump over Kamala Harris as president.맥스카지노�We were supposed to be on a steady if difficult sometimes march toward progress. And yet, just a few weeks ago, the United States voted for a second time to not elect its first woman president,맥스카지노� Trudeau said at a event sponsored by Equal Voice, an organization dedicated to improving gender representation in Canadian politics. 맥스카지노�Everywhere, women맥스카지노�s rights and women맥스카지노�s progress is under attack 맥스카지노� overtly and subtly.맥스카지노�Musk called Trudeau 맥스카지노�insufferable" in a post on X. 맥스카지노�Won't be in power for much longer,맥스카지노� he wrote.Ford also criticized Trudeau for the remarks.맥스카지노�They are not helpful at all. It was brought up a couple of times in our meeting,맥스카지노� Ford said. 맥스카지노�Donald Trump was elected democratically. If you like him or you don맥스카지노�t like him that맥스카지노�s not our issue. We elect Canadians and it was not helpful whatsoever. I맥스카지노�m sure the prime minister got the message loud and clear.맥스카지노�
