By the weekend, negotiations between Washington and Ottawa were frozen, and President Donald Trump had imposed fresh tariffs.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he had terminated trade negotiations with Canada in response to an advert produced by the government of Ontario featuring historic footage of President Ronald Reagan arguing that tariffs undermine economic prosperity.

President Donald Trump pulled out of trade talks with Canada Thursday night, furious over what he called a “fake’’ television ad from Ontario’s provincial government that quoted former U.S.

Scott Bessent said Ontario's anti-tariff ad, featuring quotes from Ronald Reagan, was "propaganda" aimed at swaying public opinion.
