WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US President Donald Trump on Friday accused Canada of cheating and attempting to "illegally influence the United States Supreme Court" by distributing fake ads about former President Ronald Reagan.
Late on Thursday, the president wrote on Truth Social that, according to the Ronald Reagan Foundation, Ottawa has created a $75-million ad featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about tariffs. Based on that "egregious behavior," Trump ruled to suspend all trade talks with the country.
"CANADA CHEATED AND GOT CAUGHT!!! They fraudulently took a big buy ad saying that Ronald Reagan did not like Tariffs, when actually he LOVED TARIFFS FOR OUR COUNTRY, AND ITS NATIONAL SECURITY. Canada is trying to illegally influence the United States Supreme Court in one of the most important rulings in the history of our Country," the president wrote in another Truth Social post.
After that, he also wrote two posts hailing tariffs' contributions to the United States economy and national security.
In late July, Trump signed an executive order to increase tariffs on Canadian goods that are not compliant with the USMCA from 25% to 35%, effective August 1, after the neighboring countries failed to reach an agreement within the deadline set by Washington.
On August 22, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Ottawa's decision to lift, effective September 1, all retaliatory tariffs imposed on US-made goods covered by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). However, duties on US steel and aluminum products, as well as automobiles, are to remain in place until issues are resolved. Earlier in October, media reported that the two countries were nearing finalizing trade agreements across several industries.
