Ontario Premier Doug Ford says a new trade deal signed with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer didn’t involve any discussions on Enbridge Inc.’s Line 5 pipeline.

“We never talked about it this time,” Mr. Ford told reporters at a press conference in Ottawa on July 25—hours after the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed.
