"Carney confirmed the apology while speaking to reporters after attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in South Korea. "I did apologize to the president," Carney said. The remark confirmed comments that Trump made on Friday. Carney said he had reviewed the ad before it aired and had opposed it. The ad was put forth by Ontario Premier Doug Ford and it featured the voice of Reagan talking about the disadvantages of trade tariffs, in excerpts from a 1987 address broadcast on radio."
"Despite the apology, Trump still said the United States and Canada will not restart trade talks. Meanwhile, Carney downplayed tensions on Saturday, saying he was relaxed about when talks would resume. "After all the noise of this week, Canada still has the best trade deal of any country with the US," Carney said. "We can spend our time watching Truth Social worrying about the reactions of individuals. We are staying calm," he added."
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney apologized to President Trump for an Ontario ad that used former President Ronald Reagan's voice and halted tariff talks. Carney confirmed the apology after attending the APEC summit in South Korea and said he had reviewed and opposed the ad before it aired. The ad, produced by Ontario Premier Doug Ford, used excerpts from Reagan's 1987 address about tariffs. Trump reacted angrily, declared an end to all trade negotiations with Canada, and later said he would not restart talks despite a "very nice" dinner conversation with Carney. Carney downplayed tensions and said Canada retains the best trade deal with the US.
