Question

Accepted Answer

Trump ended talks and imposed a 10% tariff increase using presidential trade authority because he decided to terminate negotiations; this regulatory move benefited U.S. import-competing firms (which gained price protection and higher profits) and the U.S. Treasury (which collected higher duties), while Canadian exporters—including auto parts makers and farmers—Canadian consumers and Ontario's government messaging suffered higher costs, lost sales and credibility. Doug Ford's Ontario government released an anti-tariff ad using Reagan footage and then paused it to try to resume talks, Dominic LeBlanc said the federal government controls trade talks and offered to engage, and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation said the ad misrepresented Reagan and reviewed legal options. These outcomes followed from Trump's authority to set tariffs and the leverage that tariff decisions give to the president and federal trade officials, with legal and political influence shaping responses due to the incentives and control held by decision-makers.
