Ontario Premier Doug Ford told reporters that Canada plans to push back with $65 billion in tariffs that will minimize pain for Canadians and maximize pain for Americans, The Hill reported.
"I feel terrible for the Americans, but it's one person — it's President [Donald] Trump — that's creating this chaos," Ford said. "We have two options here: Either we roll over as a country and he runs us over 15 times and gets what he wants, or we feel a little bit of pain and we fight like we've never fought before."
Trump announced Wednesday he was placing a 25% tariff on auto imports — a move the White House claims would foster domestic manufacturing but could also put a financial squeeze on automakers that depend on global supply chains
