Big time blunder: Here’s how Canada just lost out on trade negotiations with America
Canada was caught red-handed trying to ‘interfere’ with tariff policies in the U.S., according to President Trump, and as such, their trade negotiations have been terminated

According to President Donald Trump, Canada has lost out on trade negotiations with the United States following a shocking allegation from the Ronald Reagan Foundation that suggests the neighboring government was attempting to meddle with U.S. trade and tariff policies.
This comes after the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute announced that the government of Ontario, Canada, “created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan delivering his ‘Radio Address to the Nation on Free and Fair Trade,’ dated April 25, 1987.”
According to the foundation, the ad “misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address, and the Government of Ontario did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks.”
The Ontario ad features the voice of Reagan and uses out-of-context quotes from his speech to criticize the use of tariffs in trade – a huge part of President Trump’s approach to international business.
President Donald Trump’s response to this ad was swift and pointed.
He wrote on Truth Social, “They only did this to interfere with the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, and other courts. TARIFFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY, AND ECONOMY, OF THE U.S.A. Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.”
On November 5, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in two challenges to President Trump’s executive power on imposing tariffs, which have been imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
SCOTUS’s decision on this issue will significantly determine the scope of the president’s authority to set tariffs for the U.S. and utilize them as a tool to negotiate trade agreements.
“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 said in a second statement on Friday.
He continued, “Canada has long cheated on Tariffs, charging our farmers as much as 400%. Now they, and other countries, can’t take advantage of the U.S. any longer. Thank you to the Ronald Reagan Foundation for exposing this FRAUD.”
