Carney says he apologized to Trump for tariff ad, had asked Ford not to run it

Prime Minister Mark Carney revealed Saturday that he had apologized to U.S. President Donald Trump for an anti-tariff ad developed by Ontario Premier Doug Ford and broadcast on U.S. television network. The ad, which featured former U.S. President Ronald Reagan, pushed Trump to end tariff negotiations with Canada. Carney also said he had asked Ontario Premier Doug Ford not to run the ad, who went ahead and ran it anyway. Carney says Trump was “offended” by the ad and also said “it’s not something (he) would have done.” Carney added “I’m the one who is responsible in my role as prime minister for the relationship with the president of the United States and the federal government is responsible for the foreign relationship with the U.S. government. Asked if there is “division within Team Canada,” Carney said “there are other premiers who have different view (of the tariff ad).” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Like Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQ Follow Global News on X HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on Instagram HERE: https://bit.ly/2QZaZIB #GlobalNews
