NEW YORK, Oct. 25 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump said Saturday he plans to raise tariffs on imported goods from Canada by another 10 percent due to anti-tariff television advertising.

In a commercial aired in the Canadian province of Ontario, former President Ronald Reagan criticized U.S. tariffs. Trump accused him of misleading him and threatened to end trade talks with Canada on Thursday.

“Because of their serious misrepresentations and hostile actions, I am increasing tariffs on Canada by 10 percent,” Trump wrote in a post on the social network Truth Social while flying on Air Force One to Malaysia.

"Their ad should have been taken down immediately, but they allowed it to air last night during the World Series, knowing it was a scam," he added.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he would suspend commercials airing during Game 1 of baseball's World Series on Friday night, according to local media reports.

Trump's threat has sparked a backlash across Canada, particularly in the industrial and labour sectors.

Lana Payne, national president of Canada's largest union, Unifor, condemned the US move on social media, accusing Washington of trying to weaken Canada's economy and seize its resources for the benefit of the US.

"He wants to extort more from us. That's his strategy," said L. Payne, calling on Canada to "use our considerable leverage" in response.

Canadian media quoted analysts as saying the advertising dispute masks a number of complex trade tensions, including Canada's recent retaliatory measures against American automakers for cutting production in the country.

Minsk, October 26 (Xinhua) — A nationwide cleanup day was held across Belarus last Saturday. During the event, Belarusians, both as part of work collectives and independently, cleaned up monuments and memorial complexes from the Great Patriotic War, as well as public facilities, and landscaped their neighborhoods.

According to Deputy Prime Minister of Belarus Natalia Petkevich, preliminary data from the national cleanup day raised approximately 19.4 million Belarusian rubles, which is almost 3 million Belarusian rubles more than the cleanup day held on April 12 of this year.

"Around 2.3 million people took part in the cleanup day across the country. This was the first time we've held two national cleanup days in a year. It's gratifying that, despite the rainy weather, a large number of people participated in this event," the press service of the Council of Ministers of Belarus quotes N. Petkevich as saying.

According to her, 50 percent of the proceeds from the event will be used to build the National History Museum of Belarus and create its permanent exhibition. The remaining 50 percent will be allocated to regional executive committees across the country and the Minsk City Executive Committee for local matters.

Hohhot, Oct. 26 (Xinhua) — From October 16 to 23 this year, a delegation of media representatives from Russia's Far East visited Hangzhou in east China's Zhejiang Province and Hohhot in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to learn firsthand about China's local development practices.

At the Hangzhou Future Sci-tech City exhibition center in Hangzhou, delegation members learned about a planning concept characterized by the integration of industry and the city, as well as a balance between work and living, through digital models and immersive exhibitions.

According to Alexey Budko, a media relations consultant for the Chita City District Administration and a board member of the Trans-Baikal Regional Branch of the Union of Journalists, coordinated planning, from industrial deployment to meeting the daily needs of the population, allowed them to experience the people-centered development of Chinese modernization. Chinese modernization, in which the people are at the center, is not an abstract concept but a concrete practice that permeates the entire development process.

At the Zhongnan Cartoon Group's AI animation lab, the delegation met a digital avatar of the ancient Chinese poet Su Shi (also known as Su Dongpo), who can recite poetry and talk about culture. This innovative use of AI technology to revive traditional culture sparked intense interest among Russian media representatives.

Dorzhi Choydopov, a cameraman for the Tivikom television company, said that using modern technology to revive a thousand-year-old civilization not only helps preserve traditions but also gives them new vitality.

During their stay in Hohhot, the delegation focused on the YILI Health Valley green development model. Valeria Deeva, Head of the Information Policy Department of the Irkutsk City Administration, believes that the end-to-end low-carbon system, encompassing the entire process from forage cultivation to dairy processing, as well as the cyclical organization of production from smart workshops to ecological pastures, clearly demonstrates the concept of development within the framework of Chinese modernization – the "harmonious coexistence of man and nature."

The delegation members generally believe that Chinese modernization offers the international community new guidelines for development. The current trip allowed them to see the diversity of modernization paths. And the concept of joint consultation, joint development, and shared benefit, advanced within the framework of Chinese modernization, offers a practical model for building a multipolar world.
