Too soon?

President Karen von Yamtits ended trade talks with Canada over an ad that ran in Canada (and parts of the northern U.S. that get Canadian TV) featuring St. Ronnie on the evils of tariffs (though his administration and Congress did go on to impose tariffs on Japan).

Transcript: (Reagan narrating)

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. High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars.Then the worst happens. Markets shrink and collapse. Businesses and industries shut down and millions of people lose their jobs.
