Ontario Premier Doug Ford has expressed strong concerns regarding the U.S. government's one-month pause on tariffs for the auto industry, stating it offers little relief given the looming threat of tariffs set to take effect on April 2. This uncertainty poses significant risks, particularly for Ontario’s auto manufacturing sector, which relies heavily on U.S. connections and employs over 100,000 workers. The potential for job losses, inflationary pressures, and impacts on the steel industry are critical issues. Ford is committed to negotiating a zero tariff trade agreement and refuses to compromise on this position.
