"No, but I have a very good relationship. I like him a lot. Trump continued: He was very nice. He apologized for what they did with the commercial because it was a false commercial. You know, it was the exact opposite. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs and they tried to make it look the other way. And he did apologize and I appreciate it."
"According to the CBC, the two leaders were seated across the table and even acknowledged each other during a toast at a dinner ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-Operation Summit on Wednesday, but appeared to have virtually nothing to say to one another in a visible demonstration of the frost that's formed over the U.S.-Canada relationship. However, Trump claimed that Carney apologized for running the ad that prompted the U.S. president to slap an additional 10% tariff on Canada as punishment."
President Donald Trump said he and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney maintain a very good relationship despite a dispute over an Ontario television ad. At an APEC dinner the leaders sat across the table, acknowledged each other during a toast, but had little visible conversation. Trump said Carney apologized for the ad, which Trump called fraudulent and which prompted a 10% tariff on Canada. The Reagan Foundation stated the ad used selective audio and video and misrepresented Reagan's 1987 radio address, while PBS reported the ad's overall message reflected Reagan's view that tariffs can lead to trade wars and hurt Americans.
