The President of the United States was angered by a political ad.
U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a complete halt to trade talks with Canada over "fraudulent advertising."
This is according to a post by Trump on Truth Social.
So, Donald Trump was angered by an ad in Canada that he said used an image of the late President Ronald Reagan, who allegedly spoke out against U.S. tariffs.
"Given their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE TRANSACTIONS WITH CANADA ARE STOPPED," Trump wrote on the Truth Social platform.
The cause of the scandal
The incident erupted after a political ad appeared in Canada that used archival footage from Reagan's speech, edited in a way that made it look like he was criticizing the tariff policy now being implemented by the Trump administration. That is why the American president called the video "false and disrespectful to the memory of a great leader of the United States."
Canada's Reaction
The Canadian government has not yet commented officially on Trump's statement.
Sources in Ottawa, quoted by CBC News, say that the Canadian side is "surprised by the emotional reaction" of the White House and hopes for a "resumption of dialog in the near future."
It is worth recalling that relations between Trump and Canada have cooled a lot since his return to power. You bet, Trump has repeatedly accused Ottawa of "unfair trade policies" and "economic parasitization" on the American market.
In September, he even said that "Canada is using the U.S. like an ATM," which provoked a sharp reaction from Canadian politicians.
What's at stake
The U.S. and Canada are among the largest trading partners in the world, with bilateral trade exceeding $800 billion in 2024.
The most sensitive sectors for both sides are:
automotive industry;
energy (particularly Canadian oil and gas exports);
agriculture;
high-tech sector.
Experts note that suspending negotiations could create serious market tension and jeopardize several bilateral agreements that were scheduled to be signed before the end of the year.
