00:00Trump declares trade talks with Canada terminated over ad.

00:06President Donald Trump abruptly pulled the plug on all trade negotiations with Canada

00:10Thursday night, accusing the Ontario provincial government of meddling in U.S. legal affairs

00:15by airing what he called a fake advertisement, featuring former President Ronald Reagan.

00:21The dramatic move came after Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a $75 million ad campaign

00:27targeting Republican voters in the U.S. The ad aired just as the U.S. Supreme Court is

00:32set to weigh in on a critical case that could determine the future of Trump's sweeping tariff

00:37policies. Trump alleged that the timing was not a coincidence. Tariffs are very important

00:43to the national security and economy of the USA based on their egregious behavior.

00:48All trade negotiations with Canada are hereby terminated, Trump added.

00:53The Reagan Foundation itself issued a rare public rebuke, stating the ad misrepresents

00:59Reagan's 1987 radio address, and emphasized that Reagan's words were edited without permission.

01:05While the foundation didn't specify exactly what was misleading, it urged the public to watch the

01:10full unedited address on its YouTube channel and said legal action is under review. The ad,

01:17shared by Premier Doug Ford on X, features Reagan warning that while tariffs

01:22look like they're doing the patriotic thing, they hurt every American worker and consumer in the long

01:28run. Ford, who has labeled himself a big Ronald Reagan fan, was unapologetic, promising to hammer

01:35the message into every Republican district there is right across the entire country. The President's

01:41recent declaration to terminate negotiations is the second time he has said the U.S. was terminating

01:47talks with Canada regarding trade. Trump, who has made tariffs a central pillar of his second term agenda,

01:53isn't backing down.
