Overview
- President Trump terminated negotiations with Canada and said he will raise tariffs by 10 percent, blaming an Ontario ad that used Ronald Reagan audio.
- Ontario allowed the ad to run during the first two World Series games before pulling the U.S. campaign on Monday, and the talks remain suspended.
- The Reagan Presidential Foundation objected that the spot misrepresents Reagan’s remarks and said it was not consulted on the use of the audio.
- Two sources told The Globe and Mail that U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra delivered a profane dressing-down to Ontario’s Washington representative; Premier Doug Ford is publicly seeking an apology.
- Domestic recriminations intensify as Prime Minister Mark Carney says to take Trump at his word, Ford argues Trump was looking for an excuse, and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre criticizes Carney’s handling.
