Trump Ends Canada Trade Talks Over ‘Fake’ Reagan Anti-Tariff Ad

US President Donald Trump late Thursday announced that he is terminating all trade negotiations with Canada, accusing the Canadian government of circulating a misleading advertisement that he described as “egregious behaviour” intended to influence US court rulings on tariffs.

Trump's remarks came in a post on his social media platform shortly after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated his intention to double Canada’s exports to markets outside the United States, citing Trump’s new tariff policies as a key motivation.

In his post, Trump said, “The Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an advertisement, which is FAKE, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about Tariffs.”
