‘Stronger together’: Ford reacts as Trump axes trade talks over TV ad
Global News
Ontario Premier Doug Ford has issued a response after U.S. President Donald Trump said he is ending 'all trade negotiations' over an Ontario TV ad against tariffs.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford has issued a response after U.S. President Donald Trump said he is ending “all trade negotiations” with Canada over an Ontario TV ad with anti-tariff messaging that quoted former Republican president Ronald Reagan.
Ford took to social media Friday morning to respond to Trump, who has claimed that the ad represented “egregious behavior” aimed at influencing U.S. court decisions.
“Canada and the United States are friends, neighbours and allies. President Ronald Reagan knew that we are stronger together,” said Ford in a post on X.
“God bless Canada and God bless the United States.”
Earlier Thursday night, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute posted on X that the ad created by the government of Ontario “misrepresents the ‘Presidential Radio Address to the Nation on Free and Fair Trade’ dated April 25, 1987.”
It added that Ontario did not receive foundation permission “to use and edit the remarks.”
The foundation said it is “reviewing legal options in this matter” and invited the public to watch the unedited video of Reagan’s address.
