"Tariff War Escalates: Trump vs. Canada - Ontario Energy Tax and Steel/Aluminum Tariffs Explained"

"Welcome to Maverick News! Today, March 11, 2025, we’re diving into the escalating tariff war between the U.S. and Canada. President Donald Trump announced plans to double tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum to 50% in response to Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s 25% surcharge on electricity exports to the U.S. This tit-for-tat trade battle saw a dramatic twist when Ford agreed to pause the energy tax after talks with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, prompting Trump to back off the 50% tariff threat—for now.

We break down the latest developments, the Ontario energy tax rollback, Trump’s steel and aluminum tariff stance, and the potential fallout.
