US President Donald Trump accused Canada of playing “dirty” amid an escalating dispute over an advertisement featuring former leader Ronald Reagan — a controversy that led Trump to cancel planned trade talks between the two countries.<\/p>\n

The Canadian province of Ontario said it would pull the offending anti-tariff ad on Monday so that negotiations could restart, after Trump alleged that the ad misrepresented the views of fellow Republican Reagan.<\/p>\n

But Trump showed no sign of backing down, saying Ontario should not have let it air during the first two games this weekend of baseball’s World Series.<\/p>\n

Adding extra spice to the row, the World Series features a Canadian team, the Toronto Blue Jays, facing a US team, the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Blue Jays thrashed the Dodgers 11-4 in the first game on Friday.<\/p>\n

“Canada got caught cheating on a commercial, can you believe it?” Trump told reporters before heading on a trip to Asia.<\/p>\n

“And I heard they were pulling the ad — I didn’t know they were putting it on a little bit more. They could have pulled it tonight,” Trump added.<\/p>\n

After a reporter said the ad would be pulled on Monday, Trump replied: “That’s dirty play. But I can play dirtier than they can.”<\/p>\n

Trump announced on his Truth Social network on Thursday that he had “terminated” all negotiations with Canada over what he called the “fake” ad campaign.<\/p>\n

Less than 24 hours later, Ontario premier Doug Ford said he was suspending the ads after talking to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney about the spiralling row with Washington.<\/p>\n

“In speaking with Prime Minister Carney, Ontario will pause its US advertising campaign effective Monday so that trade talks can resume,” Ford said in a post on X.<\/p>\n

‘Crooked ad’<\/h3>\n

The Canadian ad used quotes from a radio address on trade that Reagan delivered in 1987, in which he warned against the ramifications that he said high tariffs on foreign imports could have on the US economy.<\/p>\n

It cited Reagan as saying that “high tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars,” a quote that matches a transcript of his speech on the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library’s website.<\/p>\n

The Ronald Reagan Foundation wrote on X on Thursday that the Ontario government had used “selective audio and video” and that it was reviewing its legal options.<\/p>\n

Trump said on Friday night that it was a “crooked ad”, adding that “they know Ronald Reagan loved tariffs.”<\/p>\n

Trump and Carney are both set to be at a dinner on the sidelines of an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in South Korea on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

But Trump said he had no plans to meet Carney.<\/p>\n

The latest twist in relations between the United States and Canada came just over two weeks after Carney visited Trump at the White House to seek a relaxation of stiff US tariffs.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Carney had sought to calm the situation, saying that his country was ready to resume “progress” on trade talks “when the Americans are ready.”<\/p>\n

Canada has “to focus on what we can control, and realise what we cannot control,” he added as he headed to Asia.<\/p>\n

Trump’s global sectoral tariffs — particularly on steel, aluminium, and autos — have hit Canada hard, forcing job losses and squeezing businesses.<\/p>\n

For now, the United States and Canada adhere to an existing North American trade deal called the USMCA, which ensures that roughly 85% of cross-border trade in both directions remains tariff-free.<\/p>\n

But in a speech on Wednesday, Carney said that the United States has raised “its tariffs to levels last seen during the Great Depression.”<\/p>\n

“Our economic strategy needs to change dramatically,” Carney added, saying the process “will take some sacrifices and some time.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
