The contract was aimed at providing internet services to remote areas in Ontario. However, following a temporary ceasefire in the trade standoff between Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and US President Donald Trump, Ontario has decided to pause its retaliatory measures, including the cancellation of the Starlink contract. Ford emphasized the need for Canada and the US to focus on the broader trade conflict with China while also warning of potential future actions if tariffs were reinstated. The situation reflects ongoing tensions and the impact of international trade policies on business agreements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ontario Premier Doug Ford initially canceled a $100 million contract with Elon Musk&#8217;s Starlink due to a trade war triggered by tariffs between the US and Canada.
