Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced that his province will pause its anti-tariff advertisement campaign in the US after it prompted President Donald Trump to terminate trade talks between Canada and the US. The advert, which quotes former US President Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs, will still run over the weekend but will be paused on Monday. Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that Canada is prepared to resume talks when the US is ready. The advertisement campaign aimed to discuss the impact of tariffs on Americans and has sparked debate in Canada about whether a confrontational approach towards trade negotiations with the US is appropriate.
