Trump says trade talks with Canada over

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 24 Oct, 2025 09:59 AM

U.S. President Donald Trump said he is terminating trade negotiations with Canada because of television advertisements pushing back on his tariffs. "Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED," Trump posted on social media Thursday.

The Ontario government paid about $75 million for the ad campaign to air across multiple American television stations using audio and video of former president Ronald Reagan speaking about tariffs in 1987. His change of tune on Thursday — halting talks and upending negotiations — comes amid a looming U.S. Supreme Court hearing over the future of his massive global tariff regime.
