U.S. President Donald Trump is responding to Ontario’s decision to slap a 25 per cent surcharge on all electricity exports to the United States, threatening to “get it all back” with reciprocal tariffs on April 2.
“Despite the fact that Canada is charging the USA from 250% to 390% on Tariffs on many of our farm products, Ontario just announced a 25% surcharge on ‘electricity,’ of all things, and your not even allowed to do that,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Because our Tariffs are reciprocal, we’ll just get it all back on April 2.”
He repeated previous claims that Canada is a “Tariff abuser” and suggested that the U.S. will “not be subsidizing Canada anymore.”
“We don’t need your Cars, we don’t need your Lumber, we don’t your Energy, and very soon you will find that out,” he wrote. | |
