Newly elected US President Donald Trump had threatened to impose a 25% tariff on all goods coming from Canada. Now in response to this, Ontario, Canada’s most populous province, is preparing to ban American alcohol.
Apart from this, it is also considering stopping the export of electricity to the American states of Michigan, New York and Minnesota.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford confirmed this. Apart from this, Ontario is considering banning the export of important minerals to America. There are also preparations to keep American companies out of government tenders.
Ford said – this is our last option, hope Trump does not want this
Ontario Premier Doug Ford has called the decision not to sell electricity the last option. Ford said- I don’t think Trump wants this. He said that we want to send a message to America that if you target the employment of our people, we will take all possible measures. Although I hope there will be no need to do so.
On this, Trump said during an interview that if Ford does this then it is fine. The US is subsidizing Canada and this should not be happening.
Ontario had provided electricity to 1.5 million homes in America by 2023. Apart from this, Canada is the largest supplier of oil to America. Every day 45 lakh barrels of oil goes to America from Canada, which is 60% of the crude oil exports to America.
Trump said- Stop illegal immigrants otherwise 25% tariff will be imposed on Canada
Let us tell you that Trudeau had dinner with Trump in Florida last week. During this, Trump had said that if the Canadian government fails to stop the entry of illegal immigrants and drugs into America, then a 25% tariff will be imposed on it.
Meanwhile, Trump also jokingly offered Canada to become America’s 51st state.
If Mexico and Canada want subsidies then they should become US states.
A few days ago, Trump had said in an interview to NBC News that we are giving subsidies of 100 billion dollars to Canada and about 300 billion dollars to Mexico every year. We should stop subsidies. If they want subsidy then they should become an American state.
Mexico said – If tariff is imposed on us then only US will suffer loss
Countering Trump’s statement, Mexico’s Economy Minister said – 88% of the pick-up trucks sold in America are made in Mexico. These are sold extensively in rural areas of America, from where Trump has received huge votes.
If Trump imposes tariffs on goods coming from Mexico, it could increase the price of vehicles by up to $3,000. This will not only cause losses to American companies, but will also have a negative impact on its economy.
