A mayor from the Canadian province of Ontario defended an advertisement paid for by his province that includes remarks from former<\/a> President Reagan to criticize President Trump’s tariffs.<\/p>\n

The ad angered Trump, who has since said he will impose an additional 10 percent tariff on Canada’s exports to the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cI support the premier’s approach,\u201d Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown said Sunday<\/a> on CBC\u2019s \u201cRosemary Barton Live,\u201d referring to Ontario Premier Doug Ford. \u201cSometimes you need to throw a rock in a pond to get a splash. He’s got a reaction.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s got a lot of coverage. And the words are truthful, despite what they’re trying to spin and say that, you know, it’s only a portion of the speech, Ronald Reagan viewed tariffs as taxes that would cost America in the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump shut down trade negotiations with Canada last week after Ontario\u2019s government put out the advertisement. The advertisement\u2019s launch earlier this month marked the beginning of the Ontario government\u2019s \u201cnew advertising campaign\u201d targeting their southern neighbors against tariffs, which have been central to Trump\u2019s second term.<\/p>\n

The advertisement rapidly gained criticism for its use of spliced audio of Reagan\u2019s comments on tariffs. The president has referred to the advertisement as \u201cFAKE\u201d by way of a social media post that called off trade negotiations with his country\u2019s northern neighbor.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Trump hit Canada with a 10 percent tariff beyond its current rate after the advertisement aired<\/a> during the World Series, currently being played by the Los Angeles Dodgers and Canada’s own Toronto Blue Jays.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s tariff policy within the last year has resulted in strained relationships with other U.S. allies like the European Union and Mexico, caused economic uncertainty and rattled markets.<\/p>\n
