According to media reports, trade talks between the United States and Canada have been suspended after President Donald Trump halted discussions on the Ontario government's announcement using edited clips of 40th U.
S. President Ronald Reagan's 1987 speech criticizing tariffs.
The advertisement, which aired during the Baseball World Series, was denounced by Trump as "fraudulent," while the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation said it distorted the former president's message and was considering legal options.
Carney calls for constructive dialogue
Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada remains ready to resume negotiations aimed at reducing U.
S. tariffs on steel, aluminum and automobiles, which continue to affect both economies.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford, whose government produced the ad, confirmed that the campaign would be suspended after discussions with Carney to help restart negotiations.
Broader tensions and next steps
The dispute adds to the uncertainty ahead of a review of the Agreement between the United States, Mexico and Canada next year. With the Ontario advertising campaign currently on hold, both sides are expected to explore ways to revive trade discussions in the coming weeks.
