Canada Threatens to Cut Electricity to U.S. Amidst Trade Dispute

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has stated that Canada should be prepared to cut electricity supplies to the U.S. in response to escalating trade tensions, according to multiple sources including AP News. This comes as U.S. President Trump's trade war with Canada intensifies, with tariffs on various goods now in effect. The move could potentially affect around 2.5 million U.S. households that rely on Canadian power. However, the U.S. imports only 0.5% of its total electricity from Canada, which accounts for 80% of all foreign power supplied to the U.S.
