Canada’s provincial premiers are helping to assemble a list of possible retaliatory measures if President-elect Donald Trump follows through on a threat to apply 25% tariffs against all goods the US imports from its northern neighbor.
“We’re going to put our list together, and I’m sure the other provinces will as well,” Ontario Premier Doug Ford told reporters. He added: “Depending how far this goes, we will go to the extent of cutting off their energy, going down to Michigan, going down to New York state, and over to Wisconsin.”
