Canadian PM Mark Carney has apologized to U.S. President Donald Trump for an advertisement that criticized trade tariffs. The ad, made by the Ontario government, used old comments from former U.S. President Ronald Reagan to speak against trade barriers.
Carney said he understood that Trump was upset about the ad and confirmed that he personally apologized. He added that trade talks between the two countries would continue once the U.S. is ready.
Trump later confirmed the apology while speaking to reporters on Air Force One. He said he has a good relationship with Carney but called the ad “false,” claiming that Ronald Reagan actually supported tariffs.
The controversy began after the Ontario government aired a one-minute video using Reagan’s 1987 speech about free trade. The Reagan Foundation later said the ad misused his words, leading Trump to suspend trade talks with Canada.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford agreed to stop the ad campaign, though it continued to air during the World Series before being fully paused.
Despite the apology, the issue highlighted rising trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada. Both sides have said they hope to restart discussions soon.
