Ontario suspending 25% surcharge on provincially generated electricity purchased by U.S. states (www.cbc.ca)

Ontario is suspending its promise to add a 25 per cent surcharge on exports of electricity to some U.S. states, Premier Doug Ford said Tuesday afternoon.

"As you know, there's a very strong man in Canada who said he was going to charge a surcharge or tariff on electricity coming into our country. He has called and said he's not going to do that. And it would have been a very bad thing if he did. And he's not going to do that. So I respect that," Trump said.

ngl. I'm conflicted. Did Ford ease off too soon, or is this a way to reach an agreement?

What agreement? Ford blinked first. Trump's tariffs are still in place. Ford showed weakness, thus jeopardizing our collective position.
