Ontario Premier Doug Ford suggested that Canada could drop its tariffs against the United States, stating the northern nation would be willing to take them off “in the next minute” if the U.S. removes its tariffs.

Canada is prepared to retaliate against President Trump’s tariffs, said Doug Ford, leader of Ontario, the country’s most populous province. “I think the only acceptable tariff is zero,” Ford said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he was relieved to see Canada is not facing any of U.S. President Donald Trump's new "reciprocal" tariffs, but he is still very concerned about the province's auto sector.
