Carney Apologizes to Trump Over Ontario Reagan Ad, Talks Still Frozen as U.S. Adds 10% Tariff

A U.S.-aired Ontario spot that rearranged lines from a 1987 Reagan address drew a Reagan Foundation rebuke, with Trump’s tariff authority set for imminent Supreme Court arguments.

Overview

  • Prime Minister Mark Carney said he privately apologized to President Trump at an APEC dinner in South Korea and signaled Canada is ready to resume negotiations when the U.S. is ready.
  • Trump acknowledged the apology but kept trade talks suspended and ordered an additional 10% levy on Canadian goods on top of existing tariffs.
  • Carney said he reviewed the ad with Ontario Premier Doug Ford and told him not to run it, while Ford later paused the campaign only after additional World Series airings.
  • The advertisement used genuine but rearranged sentences from Ronald Reagan’s 1987 address, which the Reagan Foundation said misrepresents the former president’s remarks.
  • The dispute unfolds as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear challenges to the administration’s tariff authority, a key legal backdrop to the standoff.
