Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he’s pulling the TV ad that caused President Donald Trump to say he was ending trade negotiations with Canada.

The ad was paid for by the Ontario provincial government, not the Canadian federal government. The Ontario government said it planned to pay $54 million (about $75 million Canadian) for the ads to air across multiple American television stations using audio and video of then-President Reagan speaking about tariffs in 1987.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford didn’t back down, posting on Friday that Canada and the U.S. are friends, neighbors and allies “and Reagan knew that both are stronger together.” Ford then provided a link to a Reagan speech where the late president voices opposition to tariffs.

Carney said his government remains ready to continue talks to reduce tariffs in certain sectors.

“We can’t control the trade policy of the United States. We recognize that that policy has fundamentally changed from the 1980s,” he said Friday morning before boarding a flight for a summit in Asia. Trump is set to travel to the same summit Friday evening.
