Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has apologized to US President Donald Trump for an anti-tariff advertisement that used a quote from Ronald Reagan. The ad, funded by the province of Ontario, led to a suspension of trade talks and Trump's threat to impose additional 10% tariffs on Canadian imports.
US President Donald Trump halted negotiations with Canada on October 23. The reason was an advertisement published by the Premier of Ontario, which contained excerpts from Ronald Reagan's 1987 speech.
The province of Ontario has increased electricity rates by 25% for three U. S. states in response to Trump's trade restrictions. The surcharge will be 10 Canadian dollars per megawatt-hour for Minnesota, Michigan, and New York.
