唐纳德·特朗普总统宣布，他将对加拿大进口商品征收10%的额外关税，原因是罗纳德·里根总统发表了一篇负面的电视广告。
安大略省的官员表示，抗议特朗普关税政策的广告将于下周从电视上撤下。然而，特朗普在一篇社交媒体帖子中表示，鉴于该广告是在周五晚上世界系列赛第一场比赛期间播放的，他正在增加对加拿大商品的关税。
周六晚上，在世界职业棒球大赛的第二场比赛中，这则广告再次播放。
“由于他们严重歪曲事实和敌对行为，我将对加拿大的关税在他们现在支付的基础上增加10%，”特朗普在其社交媒体平台上的一篇帖子中说。
本周早些时候，特朗普表示他在停止贸易谈判这个月早些时候发布的广告引起了加拿大的不满。
该广告的特点是音频摘录1987年里根的演讲与此同时，他对日本产品征收了一些关税，但警告称，高关税会带来长期经济风险，并可能引发贸易战。
特朗普声称，在没有证据的情况下，该广告“是加拿大希望美国最高法院能够‘拯救’他们多年来用来伤害美国的关税。”
最高法院将在本学期审理一起关于特朗普全面关税政策的案件。
安大略省省长道格·福特他说他将停止广告，以便贸易谈判可以恢复，但指出它将在世界职业棒球大赛期间播出。
负责加美贸易的加拿大部长多米尼克·勒布朗(Dominic Leblanc)似乎对广告宣传做出了回应声明周六发布，部分内容是“通过与美国政府的直接接触，可以最好地取得进展，这是联邦政府的责任。”
勒布朗说:“正如总理[星期五]所说，我们随时准备在最近几周与美国同行进行建设性讨论所取得的进展的基础上再接再厉。”。
罗纳德·里根总统基金会&机构周四在社交媒体的一份声明中说当晚，加拿大的广告活动使用了里根的“选择性音频和视频”,并“歪曲”了他在演讲中所说的话。
该基金会在一份声明中表示，它正在探索其法律选择。
Trump raises tariffs on Canada 10% after Reagan ad airs during World Series
President Donald Trump announced he's adding an extra 10% tariff on Canadian imports over a negative TV commercial featuring a speech by President Ronald Reagan.
Officials in the province of Ontario have said the ad, which protests Trump's tariff policy, will be pulled from the airwaves next week. However, Trump said in a social media post that given the ad was played during Game 1 of the World Series Friday night, he is increasing duties on Canadian goods.
The ad was played again during Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday night.
“Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now,” Trump said in a post on his social media platform.
Earlier this week, Trump said he washalting trade talkswith Canada over the ad, which launched earlier this month.
The ad features audio with excerpts of a1987 address by Reaganthat came as he imposed some duties on Japanese products but cautioned about the long-term economic risks of high tariffs and the threat of a trade war.
Trump claimed, without evidence, that the ad "was Canada’s hope that the United States Supreme Court will come to their 'rescue' on Tariffs that they have used for years to hurt the United States."
The Supreme Court is set to hear a case this term about Trump's sweeping tariff policy.
Ontario Premier Doug Fordsaid Friday he was halting the ads so that trade talks could resume but noted that it would air during the World Series.
Dominic Leblanc, the Canadian minister responsible for Canada-U.S. trade, appeared to respond to the ad campaign in astatementreleased on Saturday, saying in part that "progress is best achieved through direct engagement with the U.S. administration -- which is the responsibility of the federal government."
"As the Prime Minister said [Friday], we stand ready to build on the progress made in constructive discussions with American counterparts over the course of recent weeks," Leblanc said.
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation&Institutesaid in a statement on social media Thursdayevening that the Canadian ad campaign used "selective audio and video" of Reagan and "misrepresents" what he said in the address.
The foundation said in a statement that it was exploring its legal options.
