US and Canada spar over ad of Reagan denouncing tariffs that led to derailed trade talks

Ontario premier says he plans to run ad featuring speech that sparked Trump's ire again during World Series but campaign will end Monday

After the US suspended all trade negotiations with Canada over a 1987 speech by Ronald Reagan denouncing tariffs that appeared to spark Donald Trump's ire, the premier of Ontario said he planned to run an ad featuring the speech again during the World Series on Friday.

Doug Ford, whose government ran the Reagan ad in US markets this week, first posted on X that the two nations were stronger together", while Trump added his own string of social media posts trumpeting the supposed benefits of tariffs.
