The offending ad features highlights of a 1987 speech by U.S. President Ronald Reagan, which makes the case against tariffs. After a complaint by Reagan's Presidential Foundation that Ontario did not get permission to use the audio and video, Donald Trump made his stunning announcement. Writing on social media in all caps, all trade negotiations with Canada are hereby terminated. He called the ad fraudulent and fake, accusing Canada of running the spot

as a way to influence the U.S. Supreme Court ahead of a hearing next month that will determine whether most of Trump's tariffs are legal. Because of tariffs, the money pouring into our country, the plants that are opening. Ontario spent $75 million to run the ad on major American broadcasters. This comes at a pivotal moment in trade talks, a time when Canada had thought progress was being made in an effort to lower some tariffs, momentum that is now stalled.
