President Donald Trump’s threat to double his planned tariffs on steel and aluminum from 25% to 50% for Canada has led the provincial government of Ontario to suspend its planned surcharges on electricity sold to the United States.
The insane part is that he is doing this before the US has enough infastructure to support cutting this many trade ties with allies. The US is getting economically railed and the dumbass thinks we can just tough it out.
A normal leader would announce this in advance, start very small and increase this over a long time in a fixed pattern so everybody has time to adjust and build where needed.

This is what happens when we elect a complete moron.

Trump goes from zero to madness in days.
