Head of the Canadian province Premier Doug Ford has been an outspoken critic of the tariffs President Donald Trump has imposed on imports from Canada, saying he would restrict the electricity exports to Minnesota, Michigan and New York if the tariffs continue.
In a press conference Monday, Ford said they were moving forward with a 25% export fee on electricity for 1.5 million homes and businesses, and may increase it or cut it off depending on Trump's actions.
Ford estimated on average it would add $100 to monthly electricity bills for impacted Americans.
"Believe me when I say I do not want to do this. I feel terrible for the American people, because it's not the American people who started this trade war," Ford said at the press conference. "It's one person who's responsible. That's President Trump."
