Ontario’s leader expressed some optimism coming out of a meeting with one of U-S President Donald Trump’s cabinet members directing Washington’s trade policy.
Premier Doug Ford said conversations with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick were “extremely positive” and that the “temperature has come down” amid recent retaliation in the current trade war.
Ford backed down from a 25 per cent surcharge on electricity to three U-S states after Lutnick called him and offered a meeting Thursday.
The politicians are expected to have another meeting next week.
