Prime Minister Mark Carney said he advised Ontario Premier Doug Ford not to run a TV ad critical of Donald Trump’s tariffs that resulted in the U.S. President cancelling trade talks and threatening higher levies.

Speaking to reporters at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, Mr. Carney also confirmed he had apologized to Mr. Trump for the advertisement.

“The President was offended by the ad and it’s not something I would have done, which is to put in place that advertisement, and so I apologized to him.”
