Ontario warned on Thursday that the province would restrict electricity exports to the U.S. if President-elect Donald Trump imposes tariffs on Canadian products.
Ontario, Canada's most populated province, is a major exporter of electricity to Michigan, Minnesota and New York, according to The Associated Press, powering 1.5 million homes in 2023. Canada altogether exports more to the U.S. than any other country — making up about 60% of crude oil imports and 85% of electricity imports.
