"Trump had called the Reagan ad "fake" and said that he would not be meeting with Mark Carney, the Prime Minister of Canada, "for a while." Some sentences in the ad are edited so they are not in the exact same order as Reagan delivered them, and the ad did not play the entire five-minute-long speech, butReagan did explicitly detail the negative effects of tariffs in the context of explaining why he had to use them on Japan as a last resort."
"The Ontario politician later said it would pull the ad, but only after it airs twice over the weekend at the World Series. "We have achieved our goal, to make sure that conversation starts with the American people, and with their elected officials, and my goodness, it's started all right," Ford told reporters at the province's legislature in Toronto on Monday."
Ontario Premier Doug Ford defended airing an anti-tariff advertisement that ran twice during the World Series. The ad used an excerpt of Ronald Reagan's 1987 remarks criticizing tariffs and prompted President Trump to halt trade talks with Canada. Trump labeled the ad "fake" and announced he would not meet with Canada's prime minister for a while. Portions of the Reagan excerpt were reordered and the full speech was not played, though Reagan had outlined tariffs' harms. Canada already faces steep US tariffs and is accelerating efforts to diversify export markets, including courting Asian countries.
