PolitiFact: Was Reagan tariff speech misused in an ad?

From PBS NewsHour.

President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social on Thursday that he will be terminating trade negotiations with Canada as a result of an anti-tariff ad that was aired by the government of the Canadian province of Ontario.

The ad features excerpts of former President Ronald Reagan talking about tariffs in his April 25, 1987, radio address. In Trump’s social media post, he shared the statement released by The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute, which stated that the ad used “selective audio and video” and “misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address.”

@politifact’s Ellen Hine explains why the foundation’s claims are "mostly false."
