Ontario Premier Doug Ford has threatened to cut off electricity and critical minerals to the United States if trade disputes escalate. Ford stated “everything is on the table,” signaling a willingness to disrupt the supply of these resources. This threat comes as President Trump escalates trade fights, a move Ford said would have Ronald Reagan “throwing up.”
Left and right-leaning outlets both reported on Ford’s statement, though framing differs. Newsmax highlighted Ford’s criticism of Trump’s trade policies as the impetus for the threat, while PBS Newshour focused on the potential disruption to the US supply chain. Not in dispute is Ford’s assertion that Ontario is prepared to take drastic measures if the trade dispute worsens. The move underscores the potential for significant economic repercussions as trade tensions rise between the two countries.
