He's escalating a trade war with the United States' northern neighbor and standing unmoved by recent stock market turmoil and rising recession risks. Trump said on social media that the increase of the tariffs set to take effect on Wednesday is a response to the price hikes that the provincial government of Ontario put on electricity sold to the United States. That prompted Ontario on Tuesday to back down on its planned surcharges on electricity sold to the United States.
