Trump announces 10% extra tariff on Canada over ‘fraudulent’ ad
The advertisement was aired on October 24 during Game 1 of Major League Baseball’s World Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers. In the advertisement, Reagan, a Republican, is shown warning that tariffs could spark trade wars and economic hardship.
Two days after ending trade talks with Ottawa and accusing Canada of running a misleading anti-tariff advertisement, US President Donald Trump yesterday announced raising tariffs on imports from the neighbouring country by an additional 10 per cent.
On Truth Social, Trump called the advertisement ‘fraudulent’ and lashed out at Canadian officials for not removing it ahead of the baseball championship.

“Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10 per cent over and above what they are paying now,” he wrote.
The United States has already imposed a 35-per cent tariff on all Canadian goods, though most are exempt under an existing free trade agreement. It has also slapped sector-specific levies on Canadian goods.
Ontario province’s premier Doug Ford said on October 24 that he would stop the anti-tariff advertisement campaign in the United States so that trade talks can resume, but it would run over the weekend.
Canada is the only G7 nation that is yet to reach a deal with the United States since Trump first declared he would impose reciprocal tariffs on goods from major trading partners.
“We will remain focused on achieving results that benefit workers and families in both the United States and Canada, and that progress is best achieved through direct engagement with the US administration – which is the responsibility of the federal government,” Dominic LeBlanc, Canadian minister responsible for trade with the United States, said.
Three-quarters of Canadian exports are to the United States.

Womenswear retailer New Look has launched its first-ever loyalty programme, Club New Look. The company, which is one of the biggest British names in womenswear targeting the 18-44 age group, said it comes with an online 25% off Welcome Offer, exclusive weekly ‘Club Prices’, early access to sales, new launches and promotional events, and entry into exclusive members-only prize draws and competitions.
It’s the latest result of the £30 million investment the retailer announced back in the spring as it continues its digital transformation journey, supported by a £30m investment announced in April to accelerate its online and data capabilities. Over the past five years, the business has transformed its digital offer, including an upgraded website and app, a 7-million-strong social community and category-leading positions in dresses, denim, outerwear, and footwear.
The launch of the free-to-join programme follows “a successful trial and extensive customer feedback”. It’s now live across the UK and CEO Helen Connolly said it’s targeting 800,000 members by the end of the financial year.
A couple of months ago, it was reported that New Look’s owners — investment firms Alcentra and Brait — had take a step forward in their plan to sell the business and had appointed bankers to run a strategic review.
A Sky News report said the review “is expected to see the company change hands next year” and that the owners had received a number of “unsolicited approaches for the business from unidentified suitors”.
