Ontario will air tariff ads that anger Trump during World Series
Ontario, Canada will air a TV ad during the World Series that infuriated President Donald Trump, prompting him to hald trade talks with a top U.S. trade partner
The government of Ontario, Canada, will air during the first two games of the World Series a TV ad that has infuriated U.S. President Donald Trump, the province's Premier Doug Ford said Friday.
The ad uses edited clips of Republican former President Ronald Reagan in order to criticize Trump's trade policy.
The ad so angered Trump that on Thursday he announced a halt to trade talks with Canada, one of America's biggest trading partners.
Trump accused Canada's government — which did not sponsor the ad — of what he called "egregious behavior" that was intended to "interfere with the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, and other courts" on tariffs.
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments next month in a case challenging many of Trump’s tariffs.
