"Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD, Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform as he flew aboard Air Force One to Malaysia. Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now."
"It was unclear what legal authority Trump would use to impose the additional import taxes. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on when the 10% hike would come into effect, and whether it would apply to all Canadian goods. Canada's economy has been hit hard by Trump's tariffs, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has been trying to work with Trump to lower them."
President Donald Trump said he will raise tariffs on Canadian imports by an additional 10% after an Ontario television ad used Ronald Reagan’s words to criticize U.S. tariffs. Ontario Premier Doug Ford said the ad would be pulled after the weekend. The announcement was posted on Trump’s Truth Social while he flew aboard Air Force One to Malaysia. The White House did not immediately clarify legal authority or timing for the tariff increase, or whether it would apply to all Canadian goods. Existing U.S. tariffs already affect many Canadian products at varying rates, and the U.S.-Canada-Mexico trade agreement covers most goods and is slated for review.
