Trump Imposes 10% Tariff Over Ontario Ad

President Trump said Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney apologized to him for an Ontario government anti-tariff TV ad that used clips of Ronald Reagan, reportedly after a cordial dinner at the APEC summit. Trump called the spot a “false commercial,” said trade negotiations with Canada will not resume, and has both threatened and imposed an additional 10% tariff on Canadian goods. The ad, paid for by Ontario under Premier Doug Ford, aired during the World Series and Ford paused the campaign after pressure while defending its message. Multiple analyses and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation said the spot used selective audio but did not undercut Reagan’s long-standing free-trade record. The spat has strained U.S.-Canada talks and coincides with weak growth reported by Statistics Canada, though U.S. officials say they hope to return to talks on energy, oil, gas and critical minerals; Carney is expected to comment further on their conversation.
