Canadian Prime Minister Carney apologized to Trump for anti-tariff ads

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has confirmed that he has apologized to US President Donald Trump for a fake anti-tariff advertising campaign featuring American ex-President Ronald Reagan. This was reported on November 1 by the Bloomberg news agency.

"I apologized to the president (Trump. — Ed.). He was offended by this advertisement," the publication quotes Carney from the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.

The Canadian prime minister added that he had seen the advertisement before it aired and asked Ontario Premier Doug Ford not to publish it, the agency said.

The publication also recalled that Trump reported that he had received an apology from Carney, but suggested that trade negotiations between the two countries would not resume.

On October 25, Trump announced that the trade duties imposed by Washington against Ottawa would be increased by 10% due to anti-tariff advertising. He added that the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute are also currently considering their legal options on this issue, as the video recording of the 40th US president's speech was subject to editing.

Earlier, on October 23, Trump announced the termination of all trade negotiations with Canada due to the distribution of allegedly fake Reagan advertisements by this country. The American president clarified that such an action by Canada is outrageous.
