In a dramatic turn of events, US President Donald Trump announced on Thursday the immediate termination of all trade negotiations with Canada. The decision came in response to a controversial advertisement created by the government of Ontario, which Trump labeled as ‘FAKE’ and accused of attempting to influence the US Supreme Court’s upcoming ruling on the legality of his global tariffs. Trump made the announcement via his Truth Social platform, stating, ‘Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.’ The advertisement in question allegedly used edited excerpts from a 1987 national radio address by former US President Ronald Reagan, prompting the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation to issue a statement condemning the unauthorized use and editing of Reagan’s remarks. The foundation also indicated it is exploring legal recourse. The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on Trump’s tariffs early next month, with a ruling expected to follow. Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney reiterated Canada’s stance, asserting that the country would not permit unfair US access to Canadian markets should the trade talks collapse. The abrupt end to negotiations marks a significant escalation in US-Canada trade tensions, with potential repercussions for both economies.
