Trump ended trade talks with Canada after an advertisement featuring former President Ronald Reagan spoke negatively about tariffs.
The ad spliced clips of the former president’s 1987 address in which he warns that tariffs “hurt every American.” In response, Trump branded the ad “crooked,” announced he was suspending trade talks with Canada, and then imposed a 10 percent additional tariff on the country after Ford delayed pulling the ad.
