President Donald Trump fired back at Ontario Premier Doug Ford's threat to hurt American electric supply in light of the ongoing trade war between the United States and Canada.
Ford told the Associated Press that he'll "cut them off" and that the U.S. "won’t get a grain of sand out of Ontario.”
“We power 1.5 million homes and businesses,” he told that outlet, stressing that “everything’s on the table."
Trump replied that it's "lots of 'bluster' from Doug Ford, who is the Premier of the Canadian Province of Ontario, but who is better known as the less charismatic, intelligent, and overall unimpressive brother of the late, great, Rob Ford."
"America has been carrying Canada for decades, but no longer! The U.S.A. will always be far bigger, richer, and stronger than Canada. Without the United States, Canada couldn’t survive — It’s where they get all of their money and, because of their current bad leadership, primarily Governor Carney and his Flunky, Ford, they will not be allowed to keep taking advantage of the United States — their key to survival," Trump continued.
"Remember, much of the Electricity, Oil, and Gas that Canada gets is transported through the U.S.A. Someone should get these clowns to 'fall in line' or, the consequences for Canada will be far WORSE!" Trump added.
"Their businesses are fleeing for the United States, and it’s all because of their failed policies and inept leadership! The days of ripping off our Farmers, and other Businesses, are OVER! Thank you for your attention to this matter," he continued.
