President Trump to add another 10% tariffs on Canada over the Advertisement not being taken down immediately

[CanadianChick]

Americans are still my friend even if your pre4sident is putting tariffs on our country, I want you all to know how I feel.


"U.S. President Donald Trump announced an additional 10 per cent tariff on Canada on Saturday because the Ontario government didn’t immediately pull down an anti-tariff ad it was running in U.S. markets.

The tariff will be “over and above what they are paying now,” Trump said Saturday on his social media platform Truth Social.

“Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD,” Trump said on the platform as he flew aboard Air Force One to Malaysia.

The Ontario government launched the $75-million anti-tariff ad campaign featuring former U.S. president Ronald Reagan earlier this month and it was scheduled to run until the end of January.

Late Thursday, Trump announced he was ending trade talks with Canada over the ad. Ontario premier Doug Ford announced Friday the government would pull the ad in hopes of getting trade talks restarted, but not until Monday.

“Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10 per cent over and above what they are paying now,” Trump said in his post.

It was not immediately clear what the new tariff would be applied to, or when it would take effect. Neither the White House nor Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office have responded to a request for comment."

And he wonders why other countries see China as a much more reliable trading partner LOL. I can just imagine what other world leaders are saying about Trump behind closed doors. Every time they meet him they have to spend half an hour publicly praising him because they know that pandering to Trump's ego is the only way to do business with America now

And anyway, it wasn't a fraud. Reagan was NOT in favor of trade tariffs and he certainly wouldn't support them being slapped on America's biggest trading partner over a bloody TV add !!!

I have not followed this ad campaign , if I am wrong please do tell me, did the premier of Ontario Doug Ford have part or all of Ronald Reagan's speech on tariffs played or was it doctored in any way. I really should go read up on what this is all about, if it was simply playing Ronald Reagan's speech with no manipulation where is the "Fraud" Trump is upset over.

"The Senate on Wednesday voted for a second time in as many days to knock down President Donald Trump’s tariffs — this time his duties on neighboring Canada.

The vote — the second of three votes on Trump’s tariffs scheduled for this week — passed 50-46, with four Republicans voting with the Democrats: Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rand Paul of Kentucky. Collins, Murkowski and Paul were all cosponsors of the bill. The same four GOP senators voted for a resolution to block the tariffs on Brazilian goods Tuesday.

They also joined Democrats to block the Canada tariffs for a first time in April."

Interesting that a republican controlled Senate voted against Trump's tariffs, but even if the House votes the same way I doubt the Trump will sign off on it if and when it hits his desk.
