President Trump said on Saturday that he would increase tariffs on Canadian goods by 10 percent to punish America’s second-largest trading partner over an ad, paid for by the province of Ontario, that used original audio of Ronald Reagan denouncing tariffs.
Mr. Trump, who suspended monthslong talks with Canada over reducing the tariffs on Thursday night because of the ad, has insisted the ad is “fraudulent” after the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute said it had made “selective” use of the five-minute 1987 original Reagan address.
