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.”
“But over the long run, such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer,” he continues in the ad.
Note: Trump claimed that the Reagan clip was ‘fake news’. We have confirmed it to be real.
