What is the main topic of this episode?
Good morning, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. It's Wednesday, March 12th, 2025, and this is your AM Update.
President Trump believes in reciprocity, and all he's asking for at the end of the day are fair and balanced trade practices.
How did Canada respond to Trump's tariff threats?
Canada backs down in the tariff standoff as Ontario's leader cancels a planned retaliatory measure. This after President Trump's threat to double tariffs on steel and aluminum.
Hopefully President Putin will agree to that also, and we can get this show on the road.
How is President Trump showing support for Tesla and Elon Musk?
A crucial step in the peace process, Ukraine agrees to a ceasefire. Now it's up to the Russians to take the next step toward peace.

The bill passing Tuesday evening on a nearly party line vote, 217 to 213. Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massey following through on his promise to vote against the bill. In response, President Trump calling to primary Congressman Massey, a move receiving mixed reactions on the right. Speaker Johnson on Tuesday saying he is in the business of defending the incumbent despite his disagreement with Mr. Massey on the CR. The bill now moves to the Senate, where it faces complete Democrat opposition. It does require 60 votes to pass. Republicans only account for 52 yes votes, as Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, a Republican, says he is also a no. The deadline is 11.59 p.m. on Friday. Otherwise, a shutdown looms.
Thank you.
Ontario premier, which is like a governor, Doug Ford, backing down almost immediately on a 25% electricity surcharge on roughly 1.5 million residents of New York, Michigan, and Minnesota. On Tuesday morning, Mr. Ford played tough, slapping on the surcharge in response to Mr. Trump's 25% tariff on Canada, meant to encourage a crackdown on fentanyl. Mr. Ford saying Americans needed to, quote, feel the pain.
We will not back down. We will be relentless. I apologize to the American people that President Trump decided to have an unprovoked attack on our country, on families, on jobs, and it's unacceptable.
In response to Mr. Ford's threats, President Trump announcing he would increase aluminum and steel tariffs on Canada to $1. 50%. Within a matter of hours, Mr. Ford backed down, reversing the surcharge, saying he will meet with Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick on Thursday in Washington to further discuss tariffs and trade. Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt addressing the matter on Tuesday.
The president is, again, responding to the fact that Canada has been ripping off the United States of America and hardworking Americans for decades. If you look at the rates of tariffs across the board that Canadians have been imposing on the American people and our workers here, it is egregious. American cheese and butter, nearly 300 percent tariff.
