Trump announces additional 10-per-cent tariff on Canada over Ontario ad

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced an additional 10-per-cent tariff on Canada over an ad by the Ontario government.

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

Trump said the tariff was being added because the ad was not removed sooner.

The Ontario government launched a $75-million anti-tariff ad campaign featuring former U.S. president Ronald Regan that was being broadcast in the U.S. and 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.
