Daily Mail, UK - President Donald Trump declared a national emergency on electricity in the United States and doubled the tariffs on aluminum and steel from Canada after retaliatory tariffs from America's neighbor to the north. The
president, in a lengthy post on his Truth Social account on Tuesday,
also threatened to 'permanently shut down' the Canadian auto sector.The only thing to make his tariffs stop is for Canada to become the 51st state, he noted as he ramps up his trade war
CNN- President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened a sharp escalation in the budding trade war with Canada in retaliation for Ontario’s export surcharge on US electricity. Trump said he would respond in kind to Ontario’s 25% surcharge on electricity to New York, Minnesota and Michigan with a 25% tariff on Canadian electricity. That could increase costs even more for Americans, particularly in northern states that rely on energy from Canada. Ontario’s surcharge, announced Monday, threatens to increase bills by $100 a month, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said. In addition, Trump said he would levy even larger tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum than he had planned Wednesday.
