As U.S. President Donald Trump<\/a> threatens an increase<\/a> in tariffs<\/a> on Canada, Prime Minister Mark Carney<\/a> says the federal government has \u201csole responsibility\u201d for the country\u2019s ongoing trade talks with its southern neighbour.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the sole responsibility of the government of Canada to have those discussions with the United States, and it\u2019s the best way forward,\u201d he told reporters Sunday.<\/p>\n

Carney was in Malaysia for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations leaders summit.<\/p>\n

His comments came hours after Trump threatened a 10 per cent tariff on top of what was already in place on Canada in response to an ad campaign launched by Ontario, which aired on American television.<\/p>\n

In a post on his Truth Social platform on Saturday evening, Eastern time, Trump once again criticized Canada for the airing of an ad<\/a> that features clips of former president Ronald Reagan.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not immediately clear yet how or when the new tariff would be implemented or to what products.<\/p>\n

The ad was run by the Ontario government on American television networks in the past week and features images of Americans from all walks of life going about their days over swelling music, with clips from Reagan\u2019s 1987 radio address playing.<\/p>\n

That speech saw Reagan speak about \u201cFree and fair trade,\u201d and about how he views the risks of tariffs and protectionism against tariffs the U.S. was imposing at the time on Japanese goods.<\/p>\n

The speech itself was five minutes long, while the Ontario ad featuring Reagan\u2019s remarks lasted about one minute.<\/p>\n

On Thursday night, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute posted on X that the ad \u201cmisrepresents the \u2018Presidential Radio Address to the Nation on Free and Fair Trade\u2019 dated April 25, 1987.\u201d It added Ontario did not receive foundation permission to \u201cuse and edit the remarks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ontario\u2019s ad led to Trump announcing he was cutting off all trade talks with Canada.<\/p>\n
