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.

LeBlanc, the Carney government’s minister of just about everything, has spent much of this week in Washington, D.C.

As of Sunday afternoon, Carney had not commented publicly on Trump’s threat to hit Canada with an additional tariff, but in a statement released Saturday, Canada – US Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc echoed his earlier comments about Canada being ready to return to the table.

Trump has imposed double-digit tariffs on Canada’s steel, aluminum, auto, lumber and copper sectors. The president has said he is open to renegotiating the United States–Mexico–Canada Free Trade Agreement, but has also left open the possibility of abandoning the framework altogether.

Prime Minister Mark Carney addressed South Asian leaders on Sunday about the importance of “reliable partners who honour their commitments.” His remarks were delivered against a backdrop of rising rhetoric and tariff threats by the U.

The measure was in response to what the U.S. president called “misrepresentation” of Ronald Reagan’s comments.

Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc is pushing back on a report that suggests relief from U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs could be coming soon.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced an additional 10 per cent tariff on Canada on Saturday because the Ontario government didn't immediately pull down an anti-tariff ad it was running in U.S. markets.

Donald Trump said he was adding an additional 10 per cent levy on Canadian exports to the US, escalating a fight with America’s northern neighbour that was sparked by a television advert quoting Ronald Reagan on tariffs.
