Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Friday that his province will pause airing ads featuring former President Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs after World Series games this weekend so that trade talks between Canada and the United States can resume.
Ford’s announcement on X came a day after President Donald Trump terminated trade negotiations with Canada because of the ad.
Ford said he had spoken with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney before deciding to pause the ad, effective Monday, “so that trade talks can resume.”
Trump, in cancelling those talks, on Thursday cited claims by The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute that the ad misrepresents Reagan’s radio address speech from April 25, 1987, and that the remarks were edited without permission.
