Trump threatens Canada with 10% extra import tax for not pulling down anti-tariffs ad sooner

By MARK SCHIEFELBEIN

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he plans to hike tariffs on imports of Canadian goods by an extra 10% because of an anti-tariff television ad aired by the province of Ontario.

The ad used the words of former President Ronald Reagan to criticize U.S. tariffs, angering Trump who said he would end trade talks with Canada. Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he would pull the ad after the weekend, and it ran Friday night during the first game of the World Series.

“Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform as he flew aboard Air Force One to Malaysia.

“Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now.”

It was not immediately clear when the 10% hike would come into effect, nor whether it would apply to all Canadian goods.

Canada’s economy has been hit hard by Trump’s tariffs, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has been trying to work with Trump to lower them. More than three-quarters of Canadian exports go to the U.S., and nearly $3.6 billion Canadian ($2.7 billion U.S.) worth of goods and services cross the border daily.

Many Canadian products have been hit with a 35% tariff, while steel and aluminum face rates of 50%. Energy products have a lower rate of 10%, while other goods covered by the U.S.-Canada-Mexico Agreement are exempt. That trade agreement is slated for review. Trump negotiated the deal in his first term, but has since soured on it.

Trump and Carney will both attend the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in Malaysia. But Trump told reporters traveling with him that he had no intention of meeting Carney there.

Trump said the ad misrepresented the position of Reagan, a two-term president and a beloved figure in the Republican Party. But Reagan was wary of tariffs and used much of the 1987 address featured in Ontario’s ad spelling out the case against tariffs.

Trump has complained the ad was aimed at influencing the U.S. Supreme Court ahead of arguments scheduled for next month that could decide whether Trump has the power to impose his sweeping tariffs, a key part of his economic strategy.

Trump threatens Canada with 10% extra import tax for not pulling down anti-tariffs ad sooner

The popular Pica’s Restaurant in Upper Darby will have its last dine-in day of service on Sunday, Oct. 25, 2025, ending a long and cherished run in the location.

The popular restaurant, which has been featured by Upper Darby native Tina Fey on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” said it is ending dining at the location as they transition to “a new building.”

Takeout will still be available for customers for the time being, and Pica’s other location in West Chester will not be impacted, the restaurant said.

First established in 1941, Pica’s was founded in West Philadelphia by Frank Pica, Sr., who brought a unique pizza flavor from Italy.

“He wanted to share his tradition of what he had in Italy,” Angelina Pica-Oandasan, the restaurant’s current owner, told NBC10 back in March. “And he would give that to his customers.”

Frank Pica, Jr., then took over when the restaurant moved to Upper Darby, where it remained a staple for decades.

Lifelong customer Joe Quigley said it’s the sauce that has helped him remain a loyal customer since the 1950s.

“It’s the sauce and it’s the people,” Quigley told NBC10 in March. “They have the knack to hire the right people.”
