Summary
Doug Ford said on ABC’s “This Week” that the United States and Canada need to strike a trade deal, calling a thaw in the dispute crucial for both economies.
Trump’s recently announced tariffs on Canadian goods drove Ford’s appeal; he said the trade fight is hurting people on both sides of the border even as he kept criticizing the measures.
Days of public insults between Ford and Trump had escalated tensions, but Ford paired his criticism of the tariffs with a warmer message about Americans, saying “we’re best friends.”
