Ford says Carney should aim for U.S. deal — but be ready to hit back 'hard'

Ontario Premier Doug Ford, speaking immediately before Prime Minister Mark Carney's meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday, said while Carney should try to get a deal, if he can't, Canada should hit the U.S. back 'hard' if needed. Ford, who had previously imposed and withdrawn a surcharge on Ontario's electricity exports to the U.S., was also asked about his own plans in the face of U.S tariffs.
