U.S. President Donald Trump announced on social media that he will raise tariffs on Canadian imports by an additional 10 percent. This decision comes in response to an anti-tariff advertisement aired by the Ontario government, which used quotes from former President Ronald Reagan.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump expressed his anger over the ad, stating, "Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing it was a FRAUD." He accused Canada of misrepresenting facts and described the advertisement as a hostile act.
The advertisement, which aired during the first game of the World Series, criticized U.S. tariffs and prompted Trump to terminate trade discussions with Canada. He emphasized that Reagan supported tariffs for national security and economic reasons.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford responded by announcing that the ad would be removed from U.S. broadcasts after the weekend. Despite this, millions of Americans are expected to see it during the World Series.
As Trump traveled aboard Air Force One to Malaysia for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit, he reiterated his stance on the advertisement and the tariffs. He indicated that he had no plans to meet with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney during the summit.
The situation marks a significant escalation in U.S.-Canada trade relations, with Trump’s tariff increase reflecting ongoing tensions over trade policies and advertising strategies.
Further developments are anticipated as both leaders participate in the ASEAN summit, where trade discussions are likely to be a key topic.
