Overview
- President Trump said he had terminated negotiations with Canada and signaled an additional 10% tariff, adding he will not meet Prime Minister Mark Carney for a while.
- Ontario’s taxpayer‑funded ad used edited excerpts from Ronald Reagan’s 1987 remarks, aired during the World Series, and was paused on Monday after heavy U.S. attention.
- The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute said the ad misrepresents Reagan’s address and that Ontario did not seek or receive permission to use and edit the remarks.
- U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra reportedly delivered an expletive‑filled rebuke to Ontario’s Washington representative, David Paterson, at a high‑profile Ottawa event; Ford called the conduct unacceptable and urged an apology.
- Ford says Carney reviewed the ad before it aired, a claim the federal side has not confirmed, and U.S. officials told reporters sectoral deals were advancing but not finalized before Trump halted talks.
