Canada-US trade tariff conflict..!?

US President donald trump has escalated trade relations with his neighbor Canada. In response to the recent 25% tariff imposed by the US, Ontario, and canada, have announced a 25% export tariff on electricity distributed to the united states across the border. trump expressed his deep dissatisfaction with this and severely criticized Canada's actions. trump, furious at Ontario Premier Doug Ford's decision, described canada as the biggest abuser of tariffs. "Canada will no longer have access to American subsidies. We don’t need your cars, your wood, your electricity, your fuel. You’ll soon find out,” he warned. The US currently imports most of its energy from Canada. The US is heavily dependent on canada for crude oil, petroleum products, hydropower, natural gas, and electricity.
In retaliation for the superpower’s tariff decision, Ontario Premier Doug ford has issued a challenge. “We will not sit idly by and protest the tariffs imposed by the US. We will take new measures on electricity supply. We are canceling the $100 million contract with Musk-led Starlink in Ontario. They will soon find out how dependent the US is on our energy resources,” he warned. He also said that he is considering not selling American beverages in his stores. These developments are likely to have a major impact on Canada-US trade relations. With the trade war likely to escalate, it remains to be seen how relations between the two countries will develop in the future.
