Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Korova Coleman.
President Trump says he is cutting off trade talks between the U.S. and Canada.
Trump is blaming an anti-tariff commercial issued by the Canadian Provincial Government of Ontario.
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation says the ad misrepresents a radio address given by the late former president.
Dan Karpenchuk reports from Toronto.
Trump says the ad from the Ontario government shows Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about tariffs is fake.
On his Truth Social platform,
Trump said he is calling off trade talks with Canada because of the ad which he attributed to Canada.
He also posted that tariffs are important to the national security and economy of the US,
and based on their egregious behaviour, all trade negotiations with Canada are hereby terminated.
Ontario spent $75 million to broadcast the anti-tariff ad, focusing on Republican voters.
It featured former President Ronald Reagan speaking in 1987,
saying in the long term, tariffs do not work.
The ad has been airing on all major U.S. networks.
So far, there's been no reaction from Ottawa to Trump's declaration.
