According to him, the corresponding measure was caused by "distorted advertising." The head of the White House explained that Canada published a commercial with excerpts from the speech of the 40th US President Ronald Reagan, in which he criticizes tariffs and defends the principles of free trade.
According to Trump, the advertisement was "fake" with specially selected audio and video recordings of Reagan.
Because of their serious distortion of facts and hostile actions, I am raising tariffs on Canada by 10% above what they are paying now
He emphasized that "the sole purpose of this fraud was Canada's hope that the US Supreme Court would come to its 'aid' regarding the tariffs it has used for many years to harm the United States."
