Trump said the video, sponsored by the Ontario government, was designed to “interfere with” the US Supreme Court, referring to an upcoming decision in November on whether Washington’s sweeping global tariffs are legal.
The court’s decision represents the biggest test of Trump’s presidential authority and signature economic policy, potentially forcing the US to refund billions collected in tariffs.
In the minute-long advert published last week, Reagan’s voice is heard narrating over images that include the New York Stock Exchange and cranes adorned with both US and Canadian flags.
The video excerpts a 1987 national radio address, external by Reagan that focused on foreign trade.
“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,” Reagan says.
“But over the long run, such trade barriers hurt every American, worker and consumer.
“High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars… Markets shrink and collapse, businesses and industries shut down and millions of people lose their jobs,” Reagan adds.
In a post on X, the Ronald Reagan Foundation said that the Ontario government had used “selective audio and video” of the former US president’s remarks on tariffs.
“The Government of Ontario did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks,” the statement added.
The foundation said the advert “misrepresents” the former president’s address, without specifying why.
It said the foundation is “reviewing its legal options”.
