Conservative nonprofit backs Trump, urges Canada to tighten northern border in new ad

Building America’s Future, a conservative nonprofit, produced a commercial that praises President Trump and U.S. trade representative Jamieson Greer while demanding that Canada secure its portion of the shared border. The narration alleges that Canada enjoys trade advantages while illegal tobacco and criminal elements flow into the United States through tribal territories. A BAF poll referenced in the spot indicates that most Americans view border security as a top priority and expect both Canada and Mexico to fulfill their roles.

The ad was released as Greer described recent “wall-to-wall” negotiations with Canadian officials that ultimately fell apart, attributing the failure to additional Canadian requests. In parallel, President Trump has signaled possible 50 percent tariffs on Canadian automobiles and parts, escalating trade tensions. The commercial seeks to pressure Canada to act before the USMCA renegotiation stalls further.
