What happened?
The President of the United States of America Donald Trump announced an additional increase in duties on goods from Canada. It will amount to another 10% in addition to the existing duties.
The American leader made such a statement in his social network Truth Social. The corresponding decision, as Trump himself explained, he made because of "fake ads about Ronald Reagan's speech on dues."
The Reagan Foundation, he said, said that Canada "created an ad campaign using selective audio and video recordings of President Ronald Reagan."
And those ads "distort the president's radio speech." It also says there was no authorization to use or edit his remarks.
"The sole purpose of this fraud was Canada's hope that the U.S. Supreme Court would come to its 'rescue' over the duties it has used for years to hurt the United States. Now the United States can defend itself against high and excessive Canadian duties (as well as duties from other countries around the world!). Ronald Reagan loved duties for national security and economic purposes, but Canada said it wasn't! Their ad should have been taken down immediately, but they allowed it to run last night during the World Series knowing it was false," Trump noted.
That's why the American president said he would raise duties on Canada by an additional 10 percent "because of their serious misrepresentation and hostile actions."
