Trump Imposes Additional 10% Tariffs on Canadian Goods Amid Trade Dispute
President TRUMP announced new 10% tariffs on Canadian goods, citing a disputed advertisement as justification. The move escalates existing trade tensions, with Canada already facing 35% tariffs on most U.S.-bound goods and 50% on steel and aluminum. Trump accused Ontario of "dirty play" for airing the ad during the World Series broadcast, despite agreeing to pause it Monday for negotiations.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford defended the ad campaign as necessary to reach American audiences, scheduling it during high-profile World Series games. The Toronto Blue Jays' victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers amplified the ad's visibility, further straining diplomatic relations ahead of Trump's Asia trip.
