Donald Trump has voiced strong opposition to a significant electricity tax hike in Canada that has begun impacting U.S. consumers. The former president criticized the Canadian premier’s decision, calling it “a disaster” for American households and businesses.

The tax increase, aimed at funding Canada’s green energy initiatives, has led to higher costs for cross-border electricity exports, particularly affecting northern U.S. states that rely on Canadian power. Trump, known for his America-first stance, warned that the move would hurt working-class Americans and vowed that if re-elected, he would take action to prevent foreign policies from harming U.S. consumers.

Energy experts say the price surge could lead to higher utility bills and increased costs for businesses operating in affected regions. As the controversy grows, U.S. officials are considering strategies to mitigate the financial burden, while Trump continues to use the issue as a rallying point for his campaign.
