Trump ends talks after Ontario ad airs

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he urged Ontario Premier Doug Ford not to run a U.S. TV ad attacking tariffs, a spot that offended President Donald Trump and prompted him to end trade talks and plan an extra 10% tariff on Canadian imports. Carney said he apologized to Trump at an APEC dinner, calling the ad something he would not have done. Ford later pulled it, though it aired during the first two World Series games. Carney has been trying to secure tariff reductions as steel, aluminum, auto and lumber sectors feel the toll.
