Ontario Premier Doug Ford admits ‘it got a little heated’ with President Donald Trump
'Things got a little heated, it got a little personal yesterday,' Premier Doug Ford told CNN on Tuesday morning, agreeing with Wolf Blitzer it is time to lower the temperature.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford appeared on CNN on Tuesday morning, admitting that interactions with President Donald Trump had "got a little heated" and "personal" the previous day. The premier responded to Trump's harsh criticism, calling him a "loser," a "king of bankruptcies," and "unimpressive." Ford emphasized that he would not respond to a "dictator like President Trump" or a "bully like President Trump," stating his intention to push for a "good deal for the American people, a good deal for the Canadians."
The two nations are currently embroiled in a trade dispute, with the U.S. imposing new tariffs on Canadian exports and Canada retaliating with its own measures.
