US EditionTrump Says US, Canada Will Not Restart Trade Talks
Trump refuses to resume talks after Ontario's ad led to a 10% tariff increase on Canadian goods, despite Senate pressure to rollback tariffs, officials said.
- On Oct 31, US President Donald Trump said the United States and Canada will not restart trade talks after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney apologized for an Ontario ad quoting former President Ronald Reagan.
- The Ontario advertisement aired last week, quoting Ronald Reagan, former US President, to criticise tariffs, prompting President Donald Trump to cancel talks and hike tariffs by 10 per cent.
- A Senate resolution backed by four Republican senators, Rand Paul, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and Mitch McConnell, was approved 50-46, seeking to roll back the tariffs.
- With a court hearing looming, President Donald Trump framed the ad as `foreign propaganda` and accused Ottawa of trying to `influence Supreme Court decisions` ahead of the 5 November hearing.
- Beyond diplomacy, the dispute touches prices for key commodities and consumer goods as the Ontario provincial government ad featured Ronald Reagan, highlighting bipartisan unease over tariffs.
