'Bully': Feud erupts between Trump and Ontario's Doug Ford over US-Canada trade war
Ford suggested that Canada needed to "throw everything and the kitchen sink" at Trump.
A feud has erupted between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ontario Premier Doug Ford over escalating trade tensions between the two nations. Ford accused Trump of being a bully, while Trump insisted that Canada is not needed and that they will face even harsher consequences. The U.S. plans to increase tariffs on cars, trucks, automotive parts, and steel to 50%, following Canada's rejection of a potential trade deal.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the suspension of trade negotiations with the U.S. and vowed to retaliate dollar for dollar for any tariffs imposed. Canadian premiers, including Ford and British Columbia's David Eby, have defended their country's stance against the perceived bullying tactics.
