In (...) overnight news, Trump terminates trade talks with Canada over negative U.S. tariffs ad.

 

President Trump said on Truth Social late Thursday he would immediately halt all trade negotiations with Canada, citing a Canadian advertisement against his signature tariffs plan featuring the voice of former President Ronald Reagan.

 

The ad, funded by the government of Ontario, uses excerpts from an address Reagan gave in 1987 in which he defended the principles of free trade and slammed tariffs as an outdated idea.

 

Trump's announcement injected fresh uncertainty into one of the world's largest bilateral trading relationships, with the U.S. and Canada exchanging more than $900 billion in goods and services last year. “TARIFFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY, AND ECONOMY, OF THE U.S.A.,” Trump wrote. “Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.”

 

Funded by the government of Ontario, the ad seeks to sow doubt among Republican voters by using one of the party’s most iconic voices, reported Bloomberg.
