"The premier of Canada's most populous province said Friday he will withdraw the anti-tariff commercial that caused US President Donald Trump to end trade talks with the United States' northern neighbor. After talking with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said in a statement, posted on social media, he has decided to "pause" the advertising campaign "effective Monday so that trade talks can resume.""
""We've achieved our goal, having reached US audiences at the highest levels," Ford said in a statement posted on X. "Our intention was always to initiate a conversation about the kind of economy that Americans want to build and the impact of tariffs on workers and businesses." Ford said the television advertisement would continue through this weekend, including during the first World Series games between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers."
"On Thursday Trump said, "The Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an advertisement, which is FAKE, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about Tariffs." Trump doubled down on his criticism of the commercial on Friday, accusing Canada of trying to manipulate an upcoming US Supreme Court ruling on his global tariff regime. The now pulled commercial features the voice of former US President Ronald Reagan talking about the disadvantages of trade tariffs, in excerpts from a 1987 address broadcast on radio."
Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a pause of an anti-tariff advertising campaign effective Monday so trade talks with the United States can resume. Ford said the campaign had reached U.S. audiences and aimed to spark discussion about the economy and the impact of tariffs on workers and businesses. The television advertisement used excerpts of Ronald Reagan's 1987 radio address criticizing tariffs and was scheduled to air through the weekend, including during World Series games. President Donald Trump accused Canada of fraudulently using Reagan's voice, called the ad fake, and said it sought to influence a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on tariffs.
