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

Trump raises tariffs on Canadian imports by 10% after Ontario aired a controversial ad featuring Ronald Reagan; over 75% of Canadian exports go to the U.S., officials said.

  • On Saturday, President Donald Trump announced a 10% tariff increase on Canadian imports while aboard Air Force One, citing an Ontario ad he called a 'FRAUD'.
  • Friday, an Ontario ad used excerpts of former President Ronald Reagan's 1987 radio address to criticize tariffs during Game 1 of the World Series, with Ontario planning a pause after the weekend.
  • Many Canadian exports already face 35% tariffs and 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum, while reports say the Trump administration’s move would raise the general tariff to 45%.
  • Trump halted trade talks and canceled meetings, terminating negotiations two days earlier, while Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada is ready to resume talks when the U.S. is prepared.
  • More than three-quarters of Canadian exports go to the U.S., with nearly $3.6 billion Canadian crossing daily, and roughly 85% of trade remains tariff-free under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
