WASHINGTON—Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Thursday that a meeting with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has lowered the temperature on the ongoing trade war launched by U.S. President Donald Trump last month.

Ford is in Washington with federal Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne to meet with Lutnick, at the end of another rollercoaster week in trade relations between the two countries.
