Trump says trade talks with Canada ‘terminated’ over anti-tariffs advert
US President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that trade negotiations with Canada have been “terminated” following the release of an anti-tariffs advert by a Canadian dairy industry group.
The specific incident took place during a virtual meeting between the two countries where the US delegation raised concerns about the ad, which targeted American dairy practices and criticized the use of tariffs. In response, Trump abruptly declared an end to the discussions.
Trump stated that the advert was offensive and unjust towards American farmers, labeling it as a provocation that undermined the ongoing trade talks. The move comes amidst already strained relations between the US and Canada over various trade disputes, particularly regarding dairy and lumber industries.
On the other hand, the Canadian government expressed regret over the termination of the negotiations, highlighting the importance of resolving trade issues through dialogue and collaboration. Canadian officials emphasized the need for mutual respect and understanding to address differences constructively.
The dairy industry group behind the controversial advert defended their actions, asserting that they aimed to defend Canadian farmers and their livelihoods amid the challenges posed by US tariffs and trade policies. They maintained that the ad was meant to spark a discussion on the impacts of tariffs on the agricultural sector.
Despite the breakdown in trade talks, both countries have left the door open for potential future discussions to address trade disputes and work towards mutually beneficial solutions.
Sources Analysis:
– The White House – as a directly involved party, it may have an interest in portraying the President’s actions in a positive light.
– Canadian Government officials – may have a preference for highlighting the importance of diplomacy and peaceful negotiation in resolving trade disagreements.
– Canadian dairy industry group – likely to advocate for the interests of Canadian farmers and push back against perceived unfair trade practices by the US.

– The advert criticized American dairy practices and tariffs – Unconfirmed claims. The content of the advert would need to be independently verified for accuracy.
