Trump Ends Talks, Adds 10% Canada Tariff

President Donald Trump announced an additional 10% tariff on Canadian imports after Ontario aired an anti-tariff television ad using former President Ronald Reagan’s words, which Trump called a “fraud” and said misrepresented the facts. He said the ad prompted him to end trade talks with Canada and that he would not meet Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the upcoming ASEAN summit. Ontario Premier Doug Ford said the ad would be pulled after the weekend, and critics including the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation said the province used Reagan’s material without permission. The announcement further escalates strained U.S.-Canada trade relations, which already include U.S. tariffs on steel, aluminum and autos and reciprocal Canadian measures, raising warnings about broader economic consequences.
