Trump says he’s ending trade talks with Canada over TV ads

Trade tensions between Washington and Ottawa just took a sharp turn. President Trump abruptly announced an end to “all trade negotiations” with Canada, accusing Ontario’s government of airing a “fake” ad that misused Ronald Reagan’s words to criticize U.S. tariffs. The ad’s fallout has spilled into diplomacy, with the Reagan Foundation calling it misleading and threatening legal action. The move threatens to deepen already frayed ties as both nations prepare to revisit the USMCA trade deal and navigate mounting economic strain. Will Weissert with Associated Press has the full story.

The ad that triggered President Trump’s response is shared below.
