“Based on his atrocious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE TERMINATED,” Trump wrote yesterday on his social network Truth Social.
The Republican magnate cited a statement from the Ronald Reagan Foundation, which denounced the use of a “fraudulent and false” video released by Ontario authorities. Doug Ford is the Premier of Ontario. According to the president, 75 million dollars were paid to spread it and it would have been created to interfere in decisions of the Supreme Court and other courts in the United States.
Doug Ford has attacked Mexico repeatedly. A member of the Progressive Conservative Party, he has said that the country should be removed from the Free Trade Agreement between Mexico, the United States and Canada (USMCA). Now it has achieved the opposite: removing Canada from the trade agreement that unites three nations. For one of his many imprudences.
The Ontario campaign was launched on October 16. “Using all the tools we have, we will never stop arguing against US tariffs on Canada. The path to prosperity is by working together. Check out our new ad,” Ford posted on X, formerly Twitter, along with a video that this Thursday caused the break with Trump.
In the images you can see several cities in the United States and American workers while in the background the voice of Ronald Reagan, former US president, is heard: “When someone says ‘I will impose tariffs on foreign imports,’ it seems like they are doing something patriotic by protecting American products and jobs. And sometimes, for a short time, it works… but only for a short time. In the long run, these trade barriers hurt everyone American workers and consumers. “High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation from other countries and the outbreak of fierce trade wars.”
