Canada Warns of Energy Cutoff Amid US Tariff Dispute

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has warned that Canada might restrict electricity exports to the U.S. if President-elect Donald Trump imposes tariffs on Canada. This could affect 1.5 million American households, particularly in Michigan, New York, and Minnesota. Ford also mentioned potential limits on exporting minerals crucial for electric car batteries, which could impact U.S. EV manufacturers like Tesla. The U.S. and Canada have a closely linked energy system, and any disruption could have significant economic consequences. Trump's tariffs are seen by some as a bargaining strategy to gain concessions from other countries.
