00:00U.S. President Donald Trump announced he is ending trade talks with Canada because of an anti-tariffs television ad he said misstated facts.
00:12In a post on his social media site Truth Social, Trump said the advert featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about tariffs was fake, calling it egregious behavior.
00:23It comes after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he aims to double his country's exports to other countries because of the threat imposed by Trump's tariffs.
00:36Trump's call for an abrupt end to negotiations could further inflame trade tensions between the neighboring countries, which had already been building for months.
00:45Carney met with Trump earlier this month to try to ease trade tensions as the two countries and Mexico prepare for a review of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement.
