- 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.
