US EditionTrump cuts off trade talks with Canada over Reagan tariff ad
President Trump ended all trade talks with Canada after Ontario's $75 million ad campaign used Reagan's anti-tariff remarks, which Trump claims aims to influence U.S. court decisions.
- President Donald Trump ended trade negotiations with Canada, saying the decision followed a television advertisement that provoked him.

- 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.
