"Donald Trump has said he is ending all trade negotiations with Canada after the release of a television ad opposing US tariffs. The US president accused Canada of egregious behavior aimed at influencing US court decisions. The Thursday night post on Trump's social media site came after Canadian prime minister Mark Carney said he aims to double his country's exports to countries outside the US because of the threat posed by Trump's tariffs."
"Earlier on Thursday, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation + Institute posted on X that the ad created by the government of Ontario misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address to the Nation on Free and Fair Trade' dated April 25, 1987. It added that Ontario did not receive foundation permission to use and edit the remarks. The foundation said it is reviewing legal options in this matter and invited the public to watch the unedited video of Reagan's address."
Donald Trump announced the termination of all trade negotiations with Canada after a television advertisement opposing US tariffs used edited footage of Ronald Reagan. Trump accused Canada of egregious behavior intended to influence US court decisions and described tariffs as important to US national security and the economy. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute said the Ontario-created ad misrepresents Reagan's 1987 radio address, did not have permission to use or edit the remarks, and is reviewing legal options while publishing the unedited video. Canada sends over three-quarters of its exports to the US, and daily cross-border trade totals nearly C$3.6bn.
