Overview
- President Donald Trump said on Truth Social he was terminating all commercial negotiations with Canada, alleging an Ontario-produced anti-tariff ad was a fraudulent bid to sway U.S. courts.
- The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation said Ontario lacked permission to use or edit the 1987 remarks and that the ad misrepresents Reagan’s message, adding it is weighing legal options.
- Media reviews found the spot reorders lines from Reagan’s address without cutting full sentences; Ontario aired the ads in the U.S. and said it will pause the campaign on Monday after World Series placements.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney responded that Canada cannot control U.S. trade policy, signaled plans to grow exports in Asia, and expressed readiness to resume talks when Washington is willing.
- The U.S. Supreme Court has fast-tracked arguments for early November on the legality of Trump’s tariffs, and some outlets reported he later announced an additional 10% tariff on Canadian imports.
