Trump Increases Tariffs 10% on Canada Over Controversial Reagan Ad

President Donald Trump has announced a 10% increase in tariffs on Canadian goods following a controversial advertisement aired by Ontario that used Ronald Reagan's 1987 speech on tariffs. Trump criticized the ad as deceptive and accused the Ontario government of trying to influence the U.S. Supreme Court's upcoming decision on the legality of his tariffs. The ad, which aired widely on major U.S. networks including Fox News and NBC, featured Reagan warning about the long-term negative effects of tariffs, though Trump and the Reagan Foundation claimed the ad misrepresented Reagan's remarks and was unauthorized. Trump halted all trade talks with Canada in response to the ad campaign, citing it as a hostile act and a misrepresentation of facts. Current tariffs on Canadian products stand at 35%, with steel and aluminum imports subject to a 50% tariff, which Trump’s new increase adds on top of. The dispute underscores ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada, with Ontario Premier Doug Ford defending the ad's message as a warning to American voters about tariffs.
