‘Another important victory’: Doug Ford responds to U.S. Supreme Court striking down some of Trump’s tariffs
BNN Bloomberg
Ontario Premier Doug Ford called the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to reject President Donald Trump’s global tariffs 'another important victory,' but said the fight is ongoing.
Ford made the comment in a post on social media on Friday, hours after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Trump did not have the power to impose many of his tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
Trump declared a national emergency in order to use IEEPA to slap Canada, and other countries, with 35 per cent tariffs.
This, however, did not apply to goods compliant under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) as well as the sector-specific imposed duties, like the ones seen on automobiles, lumber and metals.
“We need to watch how the White House reacts. We need to keep up the fight against tariffs on auto, steel, aluminum and forestry, which remain in place and continue to hurt our workers,” the premier wrote in a post on X.
“I won’t stop fighting until every last tariff against Canada is dropped so we can grow our economies and create jobs on both sides of the border.”
