The United States has suspended all trade negotiations with Canada, a decision announced by US President Donald Trump. This action followed an advertisement released by the Ontario government featuring former US President Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs. President Trump alleged Canada used the advertisement "fraudulently" to interfere with upcoming US Supreme Court hearings on the legality of his global tariffs, stating that "all trade negotiations with Canada are hereby terminated" due to "egregious behavior" and alleged "cheating." US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed the official suspension of talks with Ottawa.
The advertisement, launched by Ontario Premier Doug Ford earlier in October as part of a campaign opposing American tariffs, prominently featured Reagan’s remarks that "trade barriers hurt every American worker." Following President Trump’s statements, Premier Ford re-shared the advertisement on social media, emphasizing the long-standing friendship between Canada and the United States and referencing Reagan’s original remarks.
