President Donald Trump pulled out of trade talks with Canada Thursday night, furious over what he called a “fake’’ television ad from Ontario’s provincial government that quoted former U.S.

The decision comes a day after President Donald Trump said he was terminating all trade negotiations with Canada immediately after the government of Ontario produced an ad campaign that criticized his tariff policy.

US President Donald Trump halted all trade negotiations with Canada earlier this week over an advert in which former President Ronald Reagan says tariffs "hurt every American". The ad, sponsored by Canada's province of Ontario and released last week, features excerpts of an address Reagan gave in 1987 focusing on foreign trade.

The 1987 radio address by the former U.S. President Ronald Reagan at the centre of a new U.S.-Canada row was a defence of free but fair trade in which he explained his decision to put duties on Japanese goods in a trade dispute.
