U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he was increasing tariffs on Canada by an additional 10% “above what they’re paying now,” as he reacted again to an ad by Canada’s Ontario province, a day after it aired during the World Series broadcast. Trump on Thursday ended trade talks with Ottawa over the tariff-related ad, which he said was misleading, as Reuters reported. Trump announced the higher tariffs in a Truth Social post on Saturday, referencing the ad, saying that tariffs cause trade wars and economic disaster. Ontario Premier Doug Ford said on Friday that, after discussions with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Ontario would pause the U.S. ad campaign on Monday so that trade talks could resume. The U.S. Commerce Department, the White House, and the office of the Canadian prime minister did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
