President Donald Trump is still stewing at Canada a day after halting trade negotiations over an Ontario advertisement that invoked former President Ronald Reagan and spoke in opposition to tariffs.
“CANADA CHEATED AND GOT CAUGHT!!!” the president charged Friday morning on his social media platform, Truth Social. “They fraudulently took a big buy ad saying that Ronald Reagan did not like Tariffs, when actually he LOVED TARIFFS FOR OUR COUNTRY, AND ITS NATIONAL SECURITY.”
It’s Trump’s latest broadside against America’s northern neighbor, whose prime minister, Mark Carney, has worked to earn the president’s favor and rebuild a trade relationship that has grown increasingly fractured since January.
Carney downplayed the social media posts, telling reporters Friday morning the country was ready to have trade discussions.
