President Donald Trump announced late Thursday that the United States will end all trade negotiations with Canada. He said the decision followed a Canadian-funded television advertisement that criticized U.S. tariffs and featured excerpts of Ronald Reagan speaking about trade — an ad that the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute says was used without permission and misrepresented the former president’s remarks. Trump described the ad as “fraudulent” and “egregious behavior” that sought to interfere with U.S. court decisions on tariffs. He emphasized that tariffs are “very important to the national security and economy of the U.S.A.” Canada responded by signaling its readiness to defend its market and exports. The abrupt move by the U.S. raises questions about the future of trade between the two neighboring countries, especially given that more than three-quarters of Canadian exports go to the U.S. daily. #Trump #TrumpVsMedia NewYorkNews #BreakingPolitics #CostOfLivingCrisis
