Donald Trump pledged Saturday to increase tariffs on Canadian goods by another 10% in response to what he described as \u201ca fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reagan\u2019s Speech on Tariffs\u201d that was paid for by the government of Ontario and suggested the late president was against the policy.<\/p>\n
\u201cCanada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reagan\u2019s Speech on Tariffs,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social<\/a>. \u201cThe Reagan Foundation said that they, \u2018created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address,\u2019 and \u2018did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter.’\u201d<\/p>\n The ad in question was paid for by the government of Ontario and has aired on major television networks throughout the United States. Ontario Premier Doug Ford agreed to pull the ad<\/a> after Trump essentially pitched a fit and called the ad \u201cfake\u201d in a TruthSocial post Thursday and accused the country of \u201cfraudulently\u201d taking \u201ca big ad buy.\u201d<\/p>\n The update comes days after Trump said he would end trade relations with Canada.<\/p>\n \u201cThe sole purpose of this FRAUD was Canada\u2019s hope that the United States Supreme Court will come to their \u2018rescue\u2019 on Tariffs that they have used for years to hurt the United States,\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>\n Ford defended the ad on Friday.<\/p>\n \u201cOur intention was always to initiate a conversation about the kind of economy that Americans want to build and the impact of tariffs on workers and businesses,\u201d Ford wrote in a\u00a0post to X<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019ve achieved our goal, having reached U.S. audiences at the highest levels. I\u2019ve directed my team to keep putting our message in front of Americans over the weekend so that we can air our commercial during the first two World Series games.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Trump to Increase Canada Tariffs by 10% After Ontario Premier Doug Ford\u2019s Ronald Reagan Ad<\/a> appeared first on TheWrap<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Donald Trump pledged Saturday to increase tariffs on Canadian goods by another 10% in response to what he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":240214,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[49,48,1376,13743,111606,44,113158,111987,72978,113157],"class_list":["post-240213","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-donald-trump","tag-doug-ford","tag-government-of-ontario","tag-news","tag-presidential-radio-address","tag-reagan-foundation","tag-ronald-reagan","tag-united-states-supreme-court"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240213\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
