"President Trump's tariffs on Canada are a tax on the U.S., costing the economy and families on both sides of the border billions. We are stronger when we work together, and our government is focused on driving economic growth for both our countries."
"The tariffs on the steel and automobile sectors are hitting Ontario particularly hard. Canada's efforts to convince Trump to lift some of the sectoral tariffs were thwarted last October after Ford's government ran a television advertisement in the United States."
"Negotiations between representatives for both countries had been making progress but then Trump called off talks, citing the ad and slamming it as fake. Ford pulled the ad off the air, but has always defended the decision to run it and called it the best ad that's ever been run."
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is traveling to Texas to advocate for Canada-U.S. trade and criticize President Trump's tariffs. He will visit Houston, Dallas, and Austin, emphasizing the negative impact of tariffs on both economies. Ford's office states that tariffs are detrimental, costing billions. The steel and automobile sectors in Ontario are particularly affected. Despite previous setbacks in negotiations due to an ad campaign, Ford remains committed to fostering trade relations. He will meet with Texas Governor Greg Abbott to strengthen ties between Ontario and U.S. states.
