Donald Trump has abruptly terminated trade negotiations with Canada after a political advertisement aired by the Ontario government featured the voice of former US President Ronald Reagan. The 30-second ad, which quoted Reagan speaking positively about US-Canada trade relations, drew immediate backlash from Trump, who accused Canada of misusing American political history for its own ends.
On his platform Truth Social, Trump declared: 'Based on their egregious behaviour, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.' He further claimed: 'CANADA CHEATED AND GOT CAUGHT!!! ... Canada is trying to illegally influence the United States Supreme Court in one of the most important rulings in the history of our Country.'
