Premier Doug Ford is jetting off to Washington to promote free trade and lobby against U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian products.
With the looming July 1 deadline for a mandatory review of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) that covers about 85 per cent of trade, Ford is hosting a reception Monday with Ross Perot Jr.
The billionaire son of former U.S. presidential candidate Ross Perot is the chair of the United States Chamber of Commerce, the world’s largest business organization, which has opposed Trump’s tariffs.
