Ontario Premier Doug Ford suggested that Canada could drop its tariffs against the United States, stating the northern nation would be willing to take them off “in the next minute” if the U.S. removes its tariffs.

Ford detailed how Canada has “another $65 billion” in tariffs ready to issue against the U.S. but that the Trump administration “knows” Canada is willing to drop its tariffs.
