Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Monday that Ronald Reagan would be "throwing up" over President Donald Trump’s trade stance, threatening to halt electricity and vital mineral exports to the United States if commercial disputes worsen. In an interview with The , Ford noted that Trump keeps a portrait of Reagan near his desk, adding that the late leader would be "disgusted with President Trump." "He’d be throwing up on him from the picture if he knew what was going on," Ford said. With Prime Minister Mark Carney walking away from discussions late Friday, Ford stated that "everything is on the table." Addressing critical mineral supplies, Ford warned: "I’ll cut them off.
You won’t get a grain of sand out of Ontario." He also accused Trump of trying to hollow out Canada's economy, stating: "He wants to bleed out every single sector and bring them down to the U.S." Ford noted he had opposed the draft agreement Carney evaluated before Canada ended talks, saying, "I wasn’t supporting the deal." Last year, Ford featured Reagan’s anti-tariff remarks in a television advertisement, which angered Trump and led him to suspend trade negotiations.
