U.S. President Donald Trump says he is terminating all trade negotiations with Canada over an advertisement by the Ontario government that uses the late U.S. president Ronald Reagan's own words to send an anti-tariff message to American audiences. 

In a late-night post to his Truth Social platform, Trump attacked the ad, which he attributed to Canada rather than Ontario, as fraudulent and fake. 

"TARIFFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY, AND ECONOMY, OF THE U.S.A." Trump wrote. "Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED."

So I guess CUSMA is dead?

So I guess CUSMA is dead?

No, why would it be? It's already in effect, Trump would need to explicitly withdraw from it to make it stop being in effect.

He might do that, of course. He's randomly throwing tantrums and his dementia-riddled brain could come up with any random impulse for him to follow. But this isn't that.

CUSMA is up for renegotiations.

In 2026. That's decades away.

The US could announce withdrawal at any time with six months' notice, sure, but that has not happened yet.

It's funny and sad how this rings so accurate
