President Trump announced an additional 10 percent tariff on Canadian goods due to a television ad from Ontario that used audio clips from Ronald Reagan's speech against tariffs. The ad aired during World Series games and was criticized by President Trump as "fraudulent," leading him to suspend trade talks with Canada, the U.S.'s second-largest trading partner. Despite the ad accurately representing Reagan’s stance on tariffs, the Reagan Presidential Foundation deemed it a selective use of his words. This move has strained relations between the two countries and negatively impacted Ontario's economy, which is heavily dependent on trade with the United States.
