U.S.–Canada Trade Talks Frozen After Ontario Reagan Ad; Carney Apologizes at APEC

Overview

• President Donald Trump said the United States will not resume negotiations with Canada and announced an additional 10% tariff on Canadian goods.
• Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters in Gyeongju that he apologized to Trump for the ad and said Ottawa stands ready to restart dialogue when Washington is prepared.
• The Ontario‑funded spot used edited excerpts from Ronald Reagan’s 1987 remarks on tariffs, aired during World Series broadcasts, and was denounced by Trump as fraudulent with an allegation it sought to influence a U.S. Supreme Court case.
• Carney said he advised Ontario Premier Doug Ford against the commercial and stressed that trade policy and foreign relations fall under federal authority.
• The tariff increase adds to earlier U.S. duties that have hit key sectors under the T‑MEC trading relationship, and the Reagan Foundation said it is reviewing legal options over the ad’s use of the former president’s speech.
