Trump says he’s punishing Canada with 10% extra tariffs for not pulling down anti-tariff ad sooner

President Trump cited a misleading Ontario ad featuring Reagan as a hostile act and imposed a 10% tariff hike, adding to existing 35% levies on Canadian exports.

  • On Saturday, President Donald Trump announced plans to hike tariffs on Canadian goods by 10%, ending trade talks and posting on Truth Social while aboard Air Force One to Malaysia.
  • Friday night, Ontario aired an anti-tariff commercial during the World Series that used excerpts of former President Ronald Reagan, and Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he would pull the ad after the weekend while defending its goal to spark debate.
  • Tariff schedules show many Canadian products face 35% tariffs, steel and aluminum 50%, energy products 10%, while most goods are exempt under the U.S.-Canada-Mexico Agreement, and the White House did not immediately clarify legal authority for extra levies.
  • On Friday, President Donald Trump told reporters he would not meet Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the two summits, and the White House did not immediately clarify the timing or scope of the extra 10% tariff hike.
  • Ahead of arguments scheduled for next month, Trump complained the ad aimed to influence the U.S. Supreme Court, while the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation criticized its selective use of 1987 clips.
