Trump cuts off trade talks with Canada over Reagan tariff ad

  • President Donald Trump ended trade negotiations with Canada, saying the decision followed a television advertisement that provoked him.
  • The television advertisement was sponsored by a Canadian province and used the words of former President Ronald Reagan to criticize U.S. tariffs.
  • The province's leader responded by pulling the advertisement after it attacked U.S. tariffs, which triggered President Trump's decision to end trade talks.
  • The decision halted trade negotiations between the United States and Canada, marking a direct escalation tied to a provincial media ad.
  • The episode is unusual because a provincial ad invoked former President Ronald Reagan to criticize U.S. tariffs, highlighting the tariffs as the core issue in the bilateral dispute.
