Premier of Ontario, Canada, Doug Ford, threatened to inflict pain on Americans Wednesday when speaking to the press about the ongoing trade war between his country and the Donald Trump administration.
“We’re going to make sure that we inflict as much pain as possible to the American people without inflicting pain on the Canadian population,” Ford said.
The menacing comment came in response to Trump announcing a new 25% tariff Wednesday on cross-border auto trade.
Ford said he was caught off guard by the tariff which could impact all vehicles imported into the U.S. from Canada beginning on April 3.
The Ontario premier suggested U.S. vehicle costs will dramatically increase due to the tariffs, adding, “I know President Trump likes telling people ‘you’re fired.’ I didn’t think he meant auto workers in the U.S. when he said that.”
Again threatening the American public, Ford said, “We just aren’t going to roll over. We’re going to retaliate and he’s going to feel the pain from the American people.”
However, this isn’t the first time the politician has talked tough when it comes to the tariff war.
Earlier this month, Ford quickly buckled by suspending a 25% tax on electricity exported to the U.S. just hours after POTUS hiked Canadian steel and aluminum tariffs.
Before he caved, the Canadian “progressive conservative” threatened to shut off electricity to several U.S. states completely.
All it took was a strongly worded Truth Social post by Trump to get Ford to come to his senses.
Perhaps the master negotiator Donald Trump will again force Ford to his knees after boldly stating he’ll intentionally inflict pain on the American people.
