Rob Gillies of the Associated Press reports that Ontario has imposed a 25% surcharge on electricity exports to the U.S. in retaliation for ongoing U.S. tariff threats.

The move, affecting states like New York, Michigan, and Minnesota, is part of broader Canadian retaliation against U.S. trade policies. He writes:
