Ontario Considers Energy Export Ban to US Amid Tariff Threats

Ontario is considering restricting electricity exports to U.S. states and barring American-made alcohol if President-elect Donald Trump imposes tariffs on Canadian products. Premier Doug Ford emphasized these measures as a last resort to protect Ontario's economy. The potential tariffs could impact the significant trade relationship between Canada and the U.S., with Canada being a major supplier of energy and critical minerals. Alberta, however, ruled out cutting oil exports, opting for a diplomatic approach. Canadian officials are also enhancing border security to address U.S. concerns.
