About This Trend
Ontario is currently at the center of a significant trade dispute with the United States, particularly involving a 25% surcharge on electricity exports to certain U.S. states, including Michigan, New York, and Minnesota.
The trend is driven by Ontario Premier Doug Ford's recent decision to impose this surcharge in response to President Trump's increased tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. The situation has escalated, with Trump threatening further tariffs on Canadian products, leading to Ontario's temporary suspension of the surcharge ahead of negotiations.
