WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump slammed Canada for playing “dirty” Friday as a row over an advertisement featuring former leader Ronald Reagan that prompted Trump to scrap trade talks showed no sign of abating. The Canadian province of Ontario said it would pull the offending anti-tariff ad on Monday so that negotiations could restart, after Trump alleged that the ad misrepresented the views of fellow Republican Reagan. But Trump showed no sign of backing down, saying Ontario should not have let it air during the first two games this weekend of baseball’s World Series.

President Trump claimed Canada had ran an ad featuring former President Ronald Reagan talking about tariffs to influence a pending U.S. Supreme Court case.

Trump says the advert included former president Ronald Regan speaking negatively about tariffs.
