Ontario Premier Doug Ford has just announced that the province is suspending its surcharge on electricity exports to the United States.
On Monday, Ford imposed 25% tariffs on electricity exports from Canada to three U.S. states: New York, Michigan, and Minnesota.
President Trump quickly responded by threatening to add an extra 25% tariff on Canadian aluminum and steel.

He will also be meeting in person with Secretary Lutnick on Thursday.
