00:02President Trump said Thursday he's ending all trade talks with Canada after Ontario's government
00:06aired an ad featuring Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs according to CNBC. Trump accused Canada
00:12of interfering with a pending Supreme Court case that could threaten his tariff policies.
00:16Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation said the ad distorted a 1987 radio address by editing
00:21Reagan's remarks without permission. The foundation did not clarify what was misleading in the ad,
00:25but urged the public to watch the unedited version of Reagan's address on YouTube.

00:33would spend $75 million on U.S. ads featuring Reagan criticizing tariffs and target every
00:39Republican district. In the ad, Reagan warns that while tariffs may seem patriotic and offer
00:43short-term benefits, they ultimately harm American workers and consumers.
