00:02Donald Trump announced a 10% tariff increase on Canadian imports
00:06after accusing Ontario's government of airing a fraudulent Ronald Reagan ad
00:11that misrepresented Reagan's 1987 remarks on tariffs.
00:15The ad aired during the first two games of the World Series,
00:19prompting Trump to suspend trade talks with Canada and threaten retaliation, according to CNBC.
00:25Ontario Premier Doug Ford said the ad would pause on Monday to resume negotiations,
00:29but defended its message and timing.
00:32The Reagan Foundation said Ontario's ad distorted Reagan's 1987 speech
00:37and posted the full unedited version on YouTube for viewers to watch.
00:42The dispute unfolds ahead of a Supreme Court case testing Trump's authority to impose tariffs
00:47without congressional approval.
