Ford Blasts Trump as US-Canada Trade Tensions Escalate

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has lashed out at US President Donald Trump, criticizing his approach to Canada as akin to that of a 'bully'.

Ford's comments come amid rising tensions between the two countries over US tariffs and trade policies.

He emphasized that Canada possesses economic leverage that it can use to defend its interests and asserted that his country should not take US pressure for granted.

Ford also pointed out that Canada is capable of taking countermeasures if Washington continues to impose new tariffs or trade restrictions, highlighting the importance of the Canadian market to the American economy, particularly in the energy, manufacturing, and supply chain sectors.
