Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed on Saturday that he apologised to US President Donald Trump over an anti-tariff ad featuring former US leader Ronald Reagan.

Trump announced he would be hiking tariffs on Canadian goods by an additional 10 per cent and terminated all trade talks following what he called the “fake” anti-tariff ad campaign.

“I did apologise to the president. The President was offended,” Carney told journalists in the South Korean city of Gyeongju, adding trade talks would restart when the US is “ready”.
