Three cities in New York will be hit hardest by the 25 percent surcharge Ontario, Canada, implemented on electricity on Monday in response to President Donald Trump's trade war.
On Monday, the Ontario government enacted a 25 percent tariff on electricity flowing into parts of the U.S. The tariff comes after Trump announced last Thursday that he would allow Canada and Mexico a one-month reprieve from tariffs that went into effect earlier in the week.
Among Trump's proposed tariffs include a 10 percent tariff on Canadian energy, the major supplier to U.S. states hugging the northern border. Ontario Premier Doug Ford has also threatened to block energy exports to some U.S. states.
Ford's tariffs are expected to raise power bills for 1.5 million U.S. homes and businesses. He previously threatened to "cut off their energy with a smile on my face" when discussing energy Canada exported to the U.S.
Ford threatened Minnesota, New York and Michigan. Two of the top U.S. cities importing Canadian electricity, according to U.S. Census data, are in New York: Buffalo and Ogdensburg. Rochester, New York, also will likely be affected.
