Ford Slams Trump Tariffs as Devastating for Both Countries

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has expressed strong opposition to President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada, calling them 'devastating' for both countries. In an interview with ABC News, Ford said that a trade war between the two nations would harm the American economy.

Canada is the largest trading partner of the US, with over 70% of its total exports going to the US and nearly 60% of imports coming from there. The US imports 60% of its crude oil from Canada, making it a crucial supplier.

Ford criticized Trump's decision to impose tariffs on Canadian goods, saying it would be like 'taxing American people'. He also expressed concern about the impact of doubling auto tariffs starting in 2027, which he described as 'devastating' for both countries.
