Doug Ford addresses U.S. tariffs, gaining Canadian support

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has taken a prominent role in addressing U.S. tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. He has expressed gratitude to journalists for their coverage and has appeared on multiple U.S. news outlets to communicate Canada's stance. Ford's media presence aims to inform Americans about the economic impact of the tariffs. His efforts have been recognized by Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly, who noted that Ford's actions demonstrate strength against U.S. pressure. Despite past controversies, Ford's popularity has remained strong, with a recent election showing 65% of voters favoring him as the best leader to handle Trump. His approach mirrors his previous collaboration with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during the COVID-19 pandemic.
