US EditionOntario to stop running anti-tariff ad that led Trump to end Canada trade talks, premier says
- President Donald Trump announced Thursday night he terminated all trade talks with Canada over an Ontario government ad featuring Ronald Reagan, calling it 'FAKE' and interfering with U.S. court decisions.
- The Ford government spent $75 million on ads that began airing earlier this month on U.S. television networks, aiming to "initiate a conversation" about tariffs' impact on workers and businesses, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said.
- The minute-long ad pairs Reagan audio with images of American farms, factories and workers, using excerpts from Ronald Reagan's April 25, 1987 radio address on tariffs.
- Ford said after speaking with Prime Minister Mark Carney he will pause the U.S. ad starting on Monday so trade talks can resume, but ads will still air during the first two World Series games Friday and Saturday.
- The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation says the ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address and is reviewing legal options, while Ontario defended its intent to spark tariff discussions.

In fact Reagan sa…
