\u2018When someone says, Let\u2019s impose tariffs on foreign imports, it looks like they\u2019re doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs.<\/p>\n

\u2018And sometimes for a short while, it works. But only for a short time. Over the long run, such trade barriers hurt every American worker, and consume them,\u2019\u00a0Ronald Reagan<\/a>\u00a0says, with picturesque visuals of Ontario, Canada, displayed as he speaks.<\/p>\n

The one-minute clip of a 1987 speech by the former President has prompted\u00a0Donald\u00a0Trump<\/a>\u00a0to end \u2018all trade negotiations\u2019 with\u00a0Canada<\/a>\u00a0because of the advert.<\/p>\n

Trump claimed the ad opposed\u00a0US<\/a>\u00a0tariffs and said it misstated the facts that the \u2018egregious behaviour\u2019 was aimed at influencing US court decisions.<\/p>\n

The post on Trump\u2019s\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0site came after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he aims to double his country\u2019s exports to countries outside the US because of the threat posed by Trump\u2019s tariffs.<\/p>\n

The call for an abrupt end to negotiations could further inflame trade tensions that have already been building between the two neighbouring countries for months.<\/p>\n

What is the \u2018fake TV ad\u2019 that\u2019s got Trump upset, and who made it?<\/h2>\n

The one-minute ad was pulled from a speech former President Reagan gave in 1987.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

He also said: \u201dHigh tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation from foreign countries, and the triggering of fierce trade wars. Then the worst happens. Markets shrink and collapse.<\/p>\n

\u2018Businesses and industries shut down, and millions of people lose their jobs.<\/p>\n

\u2018Throughout the world, there\u2019s a growing realisation that the weight of prosperity for all nations is rejecting protectionist legislation and promoting fair and free competition. America\u2019s jobs and growth are at stake.\u2019<\/p>\n

The advertisement was paid for by the Ontario government, which reportedly paid upwards of 75 million to broadcast it in the US.<\/p>\n

Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who led the ad campaign, said: \u2018I\u2019m a big Ronald Reagan fan\u2026 we\u2019re going to repeat that message to every Republican district there is, right across the entire country.\u2019<\/p>\n

The speech, which was very much real, despite Trump calling it \u2018FAKE\u2019, was during a period when the US opened up trade with dozens of other countries in a bid for a free, open trade market.<\/p>\n

He took to Truth Social and wrote: \u2018They only did this to interfere with the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, and other courts. TARIFFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY, AND ECONOMY, OF THE U.S.A.<\/p>\n

\u2018Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
