Trump responded to Ontario’s use of Reagan’s anti-tariff speech in an ad by imposing a 10% tariff on Canadian imports, prompting political backlash including calls for a U.S. liquor ban.
- On Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 10 percent tariff on all goods from Canada and suspended U.S.-Canada trade talks.

- Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he will pull the ad within 24 hours and defended the campaign as highly effective while doubting Trump will follow through on the 10 percent tariff.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada, said Ottawa and Washington were close to a deal before talks ended, while Canadian politicians rallied behind Ford amid risks of retaliation and job losses.
- Uncertainty remains over whether Trump has acted despite social media posts, while the British Columbia government plans anti-tariff ads next month and Ravi Parmar said `it woke the president up`.
