Ford government reacts to latest U.S. tariff twist, vowing to protect Ontario workers | CBC News
Briefly

Ontario government officials affirm their commitment to protect workers and the economy after a U.S. court invalidated some of Trump's tariffs. Vic Fedeli indicated that while the decision represents a continuing saga of tariff adjustments, Ontario will pursue initiatives to support high-value jobs. Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy expressed a unified front against tariffs, focusing on maintaining job security and economic stability. To bolster Ontario’s economy, the government is launching a $500 million critical minerals processing fund aimed at enhancing local supply chains and job creation in the mining sector.
Fedeli mentions that the court's decision regarding tariffs is just another of the many 'twists and turns' in the ongoing tariff situation, showing the unpredictability of these trade issues.
Bethlenfalvy emphasizes that the government's goal is to eliminate tariffs and highlight their commitment to protect workers and support business continuity amidst tariff challenges.
