Carney requested Ford to withdraw anti-tariff advertisement

Prime Minister Mark Carney urged Ontario Premier Doug Ford multiple times to halt an ad campaign featuring clips of Ronald Reagan that was blamed for the end of U.S. trade talks. Ford initially resisted, agreeing to pause the ads after running them through World Series games, which led to President Trump’s threat of additional tariffs on Canadian goods. Carney later apologized to Trump for the ad, but Ford claimed he was not informed of this apology. Despite the tensions, Ford stated that he and Carney maintain a “great relationship.”
