Trump announces 10% tariff hike on Canada as fury over ‘hostile act’ Reagan ad reaches boiling point
President Donald Trump escalated his trade war with Canada Saturday, announcing a 10% hike on tariffs after blasting Ontario’s anti-tariff ad campaign as “fraudulent” and accusing the US neighbor of misusing Ronald Reagan’s legacy.
President Trump announced on social media late Thursday night that he was ending all trade negotiations with Canada because of a video ad paid for by the province of Ontario that quoted his Republican presidential predecessor Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs.
Religious imagery plays a role in a controversial new ad campaign created by the Trump administration’s Department of Labor.
In New Jersey, Virginia and beyond, voters have been inundated with ads linking Republican candidates to the president. Some Democratic strategists see a missed opportunity to forge a more positive message.
Reality: The government of Ontario, Canada, recently launched an extensive ad campaign against Trump’s tariff tantrums, which includes a minute-long ad featuring only Ronald Reagan’s voice that runs during World Series games. Canada used audio from a recording that dates back to the 80s.
President Trump isn't on the ballot in 2025. But he's still on voters' minds ahead of the first general election since his second term win a year ago.
