Ontario Premier Doug Ford has stood firm behind his decision to run an anti-tariff advertisement in the US that featured Ronald Reagan and angered Donald Trump, saying "we have achieved our goal".
Ford added the TV spot had "one billion views", and has garnered attention from as far as the UK and India.
His comments on Monday come after President Trump suspended trade talks with Canada over the advert and said that he would hike tariffs on Canada 10% "over and above" current levies.
Both Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney are in Asia this week for the ASEAN summit, but Trump told reporters he had no plans to meet with Carney and won't be meeting with him "for a long time".
President Trump announced the additional 10% tariff on Canada via a Truth Social post over the weekend. It is unclear, however, if the additional levy would be applied broadly or on specific sectors.
