Toronto mayor meets with business leaders over U.S. tariffs

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow met with dozens of business leaders on Friday to discuss how the city should respond to U.S. tariffs and trade uncertainty. The roundtable, organized by the city, was part of Chow's economic action plan aimed at helping local firms stay competitive, diversify markets and protect jobs. Business leaders said the changing tariff environment is making planning difficult and is affecting sales, production and supply chains. Executives from sectors including manufacturing, food processing, apparel, construction and technology said they want more support from city, provincial and federal governments. Chow said the meeting would help shape the city's next steps and improve its response to the trade dispute.
