‘The Only People That Win Is China’: Ontario Premier Makes Trade Plea to Trump

The leader of Canada’s largest provincial economy wants to take his argument against tariffs directly to the Trump administration — making the case that China would be the main beneficiary if North American countries become engulfed in a trade war.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he’s eager to strike a deal that will see the US gain more access to Canada’s critical minerals and energy, giving the world’s biggest economy an edge in strategic industries where it has fallen behind China.
