Ford vs Trump on Trade Leverage | Lubbock News

Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford is firing back at Trump’s trade war, invoking Reagan’s ghost to say the former president would be “throwing up” over current tariffs—and warning Canada could cut off critical minerals and power if tensions escalate. With high-grade nickel, uranium, and electricity to the U.S., Ontario holds real leverage. The auto industry is central to the fight, as Ford accuses Trump of trying to dismantle Canadian manufacturing and subordinate Canada—especially given the cross-border job ties. He also revealed he rejected a prior trade deal over sovereignty issues, including refusing to restore American liquor sales in Ontario. Despite the heat, Ford insists Canada must stay at the negotiating table—not walk away—but push back hard to protect national interests.
