President Donald Trump said Thursday that he was terminating trade talks with Canada, effective immediately.Trump accused Canada of trying to interfere with an upcoming Supreme Court case about the legality of his "reciprocal" tariffs.Trump made the announcement on Truth Social after the Canadian province of Ontario began running a television advertisement in the United States featuring a speech from former President Ronald Reagan.“They only did this to interfere with the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, and other courts,” Trump wrote, referring to the high court’s scheduled Nov. 5 oral arguments on legal challenges to a significant part of Trump’s tariffs. They include the country-specific rates at the heart of both his foreign policy and economic agendas.Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters Friday that his government stands ready to advance previously fruitful trade talks and "build on that progress when the Americans are ready to have those discussions."The ad, which Ontario's premier, Doug Ford, posted on X, begins with Reagan saying, "When someone says, 'Let’s impose tariffs on foreign imports,' it looks like they’re doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs, and sometimes for a short while it works, but only for a short time.">https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/trump-canada-trade-ronald-reagan-rcna239508
>>1451556 (Cont)"But over the long run, such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer," he continues in the ad."Then the worst happens, markets shrink and collapse, businesses and industries shut down, and millions of people lose their jobs," Reagan says in the 1987 radio address delivered from Camp David, Maryland.It concludes with him saying: "Throughout the world, there's a growing realization that the way to prosperity for all nations is rejecting protectionist legislation and promoting fair and free competition. America's jobs and growth are at stake."The ad edited Reagan’s speech, the purpose of which was to explain why he had recently imposed import duties on certain Japanese imports.Ontario ran the ad during a game in the American League Championship Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Seattle Mariners. Fox Sports, which broadcast the game, said more than 9 million people were watching.The Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute said earlier Thursday that it was "reviewing its legal options" over the use of Reagan's address. "The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address, and the Government of Ontario did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks," it said.
>>1451557 (cont)On Friday morning, Ford shared a video of Reagan giving the address that had been posted on YouTube by Reagan's presidential library. "Canada and the United States are friends, neighbours and allies," Ford wrote on X. "President Ronald Reagan knew that we are stronger together. God bless Canada and God bless the United States."Canada is one of the United States' most important trading partners. Last year, it was the third top source of imports for the United States, with more than $410 billion worth of goods coming in.Many American supply chains are also highly dependent on Canada, such as the auto industry, although the administration has been pushing the "big three" U.S. automakers to do less cross-border manufacturing.Trump's termination of talks Thursday is not the first time he has cut off trade negotiations with Canada. In June, he said he was "terminating ALL discussions on trade with Canada," citing the treatment of American tech companies and dairy farmers.Canada quickly retaliated, slapping a quota on steel products, over what Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne called "unjust U.S. tariffs."But days later, Canada announced it would rescind its digital services tax, which would have hit major U.S. companies, to appease Trump.Carney visited the White House in early October, and relations seemed to have been patched up. Speaking alongside Carney in the Oval Office, Trump spoke of the "mutual love" the United States and Canada have for each other.But Trump still hinted at possible tensions. “We want Canada to do great,” he said. “But you know, there’s a point at which we also want the same business.”OTHER SOURCES:>https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/us/politics/trump-trade-negotiation-canada.html>https://www.npr.org/2025/10/24/nx-s1-5584890/trump-trade-talks-canada>https://www.reuters.com/business/trump-very-frustrated-with-canada-trade-white-house-adviser-says-2025-10-24/
>>1451556For his crimes of being insufficiently maga, Ronald Reagan shall henceforth be named Rino Reagan
>>1451562>The ad edited Reagan’s speech, the purpose of which was to explain why he had recently imposed import duties on certain Japanese imports.Canadians are liars.
>>1451562It's very interesting that the only two Republican presidents/ presidential candidates in living memory that the right doesn't outright lie and pretend they never supported are two geriatric, dementia ridden media figures who were Democrats until they realized Republicans are way easier to swindle.
>>1451566It really isn't edited. Trump is claiming it is but they didn't add anything Reagan's speech.
>>1451566Feel free to waste your time trying to argue that Reagan was pro-tariff. You're not going to convince anyone outside your cult. "Now, imposing such tariffs or trade barriers and restrictions of any kind are steps that I am loathed to take. And in a moment, I'll mention the sound economic reasons for this that over the long run such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer. But the Japanese semiconductors were a special case."

>>1451573Reagan was president in a different era, idiot.
>>1451568Which is impressive, because Democrats are laughably easy to swindle. After Biden's lies about his cognitive health and intention to hand off power at the end of his term, the Democratic party deserves to be out of power for a generation. And yet... we have a foil in the form of Donald, who's still reeling along poor white people with promises of an Obamacare replacement. Somehow a terribly shitty choice (the Democrats) remains the lesser of two evils
>>1451574"We want to continue to work cooperatively on trade problems and want very much to lift these trade restrictions as soon as evidence permits. We want to do this, because we feel both Japan and the United States have an obligation to promote the prosperity and economic development that only free trade can bring."
>>1451576Tell that to Donald, he's the one throwing a tantrum over this.
>>1451582OK and why did Reagan do such a thing?
>>1451577>because Democrats are laughably easy to swindleThe offiicial story for why Donald Trump has bruises on his hand is because he shakes too many hands. Trump lies far more about his health than Biden ever did, yet Republicans will say he's the healthiest president ever.
>>1451588I don't get paid to teach you reading comprehension anon.>>1451592I'm convinced anyone who defends these lies has a humiliation fetish. While the actions of the Dems are routinely shameful, if not scandalous, they still pale to the cringy nihilism of Donald's gop. I just want healthcare that doesn't cost half my salary, and I want someone better to vote for.
>>1451566There's a different between short-term tariffs on specific items to protect certain industries vs. just slapping massive permanent tariffs on every category of imported goods including things that cannot even be produced domestically in the false belief that import taxes are a magical infinite money printer and that the power of the mere threat of them will make foreign countries bend to your every demand (which is currently not working).
>>1451574Trump was claiming they edited and falsified Reagans speech, which they didn't. He just doesn't like people being shown the archetypal Republican president would've considered his policies retarded.
>>1451556Canada announced shortly afterwards the US has become too unreliable and they'll instead be making partnerships with "Asian superpowers" (meaning China, maybe India). So Trump has now officially driven one of our neighbors and closest allies into China's hands out of petty fucking ego.
"President tRump, tear down these tariff walls!"
>>1451645They literally edited it to misrepresent the nature and content of the speech.
>>1451649How? Reagan was explaining how long term tariffs, indiscriminate are retarded. The only thing "left out" was that he was saying it to say why the tariffs on japan should be short term, but that doesn't subtract from the general point of that part of the address.
>>1451651>the only thing left out was that the speech was about placing tariffs on Japan Precisely.
>>1451652Yeah, and saying that leaves out how his point was "long term unspecific tariffs tariffs are retarded. may these targeted tariffs be short term and an agreement be reached because it benefits neither of us for these to be in place for long."
>>1451654The speech was edited so that it suggests that Reagan was opposed to tariffs. He was not, as the speech itself demonstrates.This is rank dishonesty.
>>1451657He wasn't opposed to tariffs in general, he was opposed to the exact type of tariffs Trump is implementing. Are you going to argue him literally saying "When someone says, 'Let’s impose tariffs on foreign imports,' it looks like they’re doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs, and sometimes for a short while it works, but only for a short time." was him being sarcastic or something?
>>1451660>okay we dishonestly edited the speech to suggest that he was opposed to tariffs when the speech was literally about him placing tariffs on a trading partner but its not a lie because WORDSWORDSWORDS
>>1451647Don't worry, Trump will fix it by charging Americans a 400% tariff on Canadian products next week, that'll show 'em!
>>1451665Yes, tariffs are a tax on local consumers. Thats why most countries have responded to US tariffs by taxing their own consumers with counter-tariffs.
>>1451664Reagan is literally explaining why he's not doing general item tariffs like Trump is, and how doing so would be retarded.Please explain how the quotes they used are ironic or sarcastic. Please.
>>1451671>no its not totally misleading and a massive misrepresentation of what Reagan said because WORDSWORDSWORDS Just take the fucking L.
>>1451674Did Reagan say >"When someone says, 'Let’s impose tariffs on foreign imports,' it looks like they’re doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs, and sometimes for a short while it works, but only for a short time."Yes or no? And what did he mean by that in your opinion?
>>1451675What did he say before that? What did he say after that? What specific act are these statements in relation to?
>>1451677>Dodges the questionWas Reagan being sarcastic when he said this? He literally followed his own advice and didn't impose long-standing tariffs on general japanese goods. He's quite literally explaining WHY they didn't just drop a massive tariff block on Japan and instead used smaller and more surgical ones that were ultimately temporary.Now, again, what did Reagan mean by this statement?
>>1451680You're arguing with a bad faith troll, it's not worth it.
>>1451681I mean Donald Trump apparently considered this enough of a slight to fucking sever all talks with one of our closest allies and literal neighbors. Interested in seeing how people cope with such idiocy.
>>1451680>>1451681>just ignore everything but this one specific sentenceIts a misleading cut of the speech. It costs you nothing to say "Ontario's Premier is a shitbag for doing that" and moving on with your life.
>>1451574Classic ashkenazi schizo brain on display
>>1451685How is it misleading? Is Reagan saying large scale tariffs are a bad idea? Yes or no? That's all you have to answer, yes or no?
>>1451577The fell for it again award meme is about Trumpers for a reason and it’s because you’re all fucking morons.
>>1451686That's every far right poster on this board.
>>1451556I think the funniest part of this thread are all the people saying "They just misquoted Reagan! They left out how it was part of a tariff statement!" when that wasn't Trump's allegation. He didn't say shit about it being out of context; he thinks they fucking made it whole cloth with AI.
>>1451918Nah, the funniest part is that dumb fagets think it's still the 80s and we have 80s problems.
Biggest baby ever. Just cut his fucking throat already.
>>1451566>statememts of fact directly quoted by the president who became the standard for the modern Republican party since he was elected twiceRepublicans, their voters - especially those who voted three times in 2016, 2020 & 2024 and the supporters of that which said voters elected in office twice - are liars. Thanks for admitting that, >>1451566.Like what Trump has done because of a quote by a previous Republican president, the perfect self-own
>>1451566>>1451576>>1451577>>1451588>>1451649>>1451657>>1451664>>1451674>>1451677>words words words Six words: Reagan was all for free trade.So what's Trump's excuse?>>1451574 is melting down so much over what was quoted by Reagan verbatim by others, he copypasta'd his own words
>>1451556I'm just tired of this trump guy....
>>1451556Here's a freebie for you, Canada:''We will fail in this endeavor if the free countries do not continue their reduction of the barriers which they themselves impose on their trade with each other'Use Google AI in searching the above, specifically who made that quote
>>1451556>>1451557>the posterboy for trickle down economics is against taxing corporationsduh. Meanwhile leftists are against taxing corporations just because they have TDS
Meanwhile, rightists are against free trade just because they have RDS
>>1452033Most righttards aren't against free trade. Only the nationalist wackos.
Dont understand how Trump still cant figure out that the exporting country doesnt pay the tarriff? The buyer in the importing country does, then its passed down to us, the consumer.
>>1452137>It doesn't pay to try to change the economics of a situation so that business does what you want because something something consoomers so we should just let corporate do whatever it wantsEvery thread. Keep your mouth shut next time, it'll turn your eyes brown from all the shit piling up in there.
>>1452171i know people tell you you're a spammer when you repost lies daily, but it doesn't work in reverse when you tell people to stop posting the truth. sorry esl shill
>>1452171Please try to reword your comment, it makes no sense to us educated individuals. Its amusing how some that do not understand economics suddenly feel they are the subject matter expert.Funny how people like you can only try to insult anonymously.
>>1452137Dont understand how you cant figure out what the purpose of tariffs are.
Tell me you're butthurt without saying you're butthurt. Show me where the mean words hurt you... fucking snowflake.
>>1452137The purpose of a tariff is to limit trade with foreign nations, forcing the host country to source and trade the desired items domestically. Canada does the same shit with American imports on milk, cheese, meat etc because they have dairy cartels.One third of Canada's GDP comes from trade with the US. Cutting off trade altogether serves the same purpose as implementing tariffs, but without the benefit of keeping our 'ally' sticking to us like a lamprey.
1452319And yet, two Republican presidents were all for free trade. One of them more than understood how it was central to the expansion of Freedom.>free tradeIt's not only Trump that can't understand that concept. I wonder why other countries don't pay more for goods that are double (or more) the cost in US?
>>1452322>muh free tradeAll of the countries bitching about tariffs have put tariffs on US goods for nearly a century.Canada deserves to be annexed for targeting Americans with propaganda.
>>1452137His brain is completely fucking fried and he is obsessed with the concept of having someone else pay for his ideas, to the point that his stupid ballroom, which he claims is funded with his own money, just happens to actually be funded by 'donations' from sycophants.
>>1452137He thinks he can just tariff movies to bring production back to the US he clearly has no idea how they work.
1452324>propaganda>another country merely repeating what another country's past leader said verbatimAnd then MAGAts wonder why it's not only Canada who are laughing at themSNL's Mike Myers: Canadian>>1452343>He thinks he can just tariff movies to bring production back to the US he clearly has no idea how they workCanada's Rick Moranis is in a long awaited sequel that'll be released in 2027 that even George Lucas can't wait to see. It'll be made in Australia by the producer's own production company & the owner of MGM, Amazon.
>>1452324>Guys if I pretend the Canada trade deal tariffs have ever gone into effect, I can act like our retardation is justified!Amazing how Trump seems unaware of the terms of a deal he made.
>>1452324Its not propaganda when its correct though. Ontario isnt saying anything that isnt true. Also, if you dig into the full details of the Tarriff commercial Ontario has been airing, it shows right in the production credits the Ronald Regan foundation provided the material and helped with production.Annex Canada?? Thats a fight no one with a brain would start; that will truly be the end of America and everyone knows it.
>>1452393>it shows right in the production credits the Ronald Regan foundation provided the material and helped with production.Further lies. The foundation may be seeking damages. It's in the article.
>>1452393>Its not propaganda when its correct though.It's not correct. America hasn't had a free market for centuries. It's a mixed economy.>Thats a fight no one with a brain would start; that will truly be the end of America and everyone knows it.The US wouldn't need to fight them. Just cut off trade and watch them spiral into anarchy. They keep targeting Americans with propaganda because tariffs are already ruining their economy. And now they've entered FAFO territory because they tried to influence the public opinion of Americans. It's well known that they funded Antifa too.
1452419>they tried to influence the public opinion of AmericansBy others using the words of a Republican presidentWho's the more foolish, the fool or the fools who follow him? Republicans considered Reagan to be the standard for those like them to follow. Seems their standards have degraded from 2016
