President Donald Trump has halted trade negotiations with Canada in response to an advertisement featuring Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs, claiming it is fraudulent and misleading.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump announced the termination of trade talks with Canada over an advertisement that misuses Ronald Reagans image to oppose tariffs.
- The Ronald Reagan Foundation accused Canada of using a FAKE advertisement featuring Ronald Reagan, prompting Trumps strong reaction against the ongoing trade negotiations.
- Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., has responded by sending a letter to President Donald Trump, requesting a tariff exception on coffee imports amidst the halted trade discussions.
Why It Matters
