About
Ronald Wilson Reagan (1911-2004) was the 40th President of the United States from 1981 to 1989. Known for his conservative policies and Cold War rhetoric, he remains a revered figure in Republican politics. Recently, Reagan's voice was featured in an Ontario, Canada advertisement criticizing US tariffs, using excerpts from a 1987 speech where he expressed opposition to trade barriers. This ad sparked outrage from President Donald Trump, who terminated all trade negotiations with Canada over what he perceived as the misrepresentation of Reagan's legacy. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between the two nations regarding trade policies and underscores Reagan’s enduring influence in political discourse.
