Trump Pulls Plug On Trade Negotiations With Canada Over Ad Featuring Ronald Reagan

President Trump has pulled the plug on trade negotiations with Canada, where the economy relies in significant ways on the United States, over what he has called a “FAKE” ad that appears to be trying to influence the U.S. Supreme Court’s looming decision on tariffs.

Further, the ad may actually misrepresent President Ronald Reagan, whose words it uses.

The bigger picture is Trump’s use of tariffs to bring about fair trade agreements for American manufacturers, consumers and economy with foreign nations that long have taken advantage of unbalanced practices.

The Supreme Court right now is considering the status of those tariffs.

Canada, of course, has a significant interest in making them go away. And Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who repeatedly has opposed Trump’s economic agenda, revealed he was pushing an ad campaign weeks ago.
