U.S. President Donald Trump ended trade talks with Canada on Thursday night over what he called a "fake" Ontario government advertisement featuring the words of former U.S. president Ronald Reagan.

The ad isn't fake and quotes from Reagan directly; however, it does edit together different sections of the address.
While the advertisement did not include the context behind Reagan's trade dealings with Japan that framed the speech, the clips it did include are Reagan's authentic words in support of free trade.
