GYEONGJU: Canadian Premier Mark Carney on Saturday called talks with China&#39;s leader Xi Jinping a &quot;turning point&quot; in relations, adding he had raised tricky topics like foreign interference with Beijing. Canada&#39;s relations with China have been among the worst of any Western nation, but both are at the sharp end of Donald Trump&#39;s tariff onslaught, even after Xi and the US leader&#39;s deal Thursday to dial back tensions. China and Canada on Friday held their first formal talks between their leaders since 2017 on Friday. &lsquo;Unlocked a path forward&rsquo;&quot;We have now unlocked a path forward to address current issues,&quot; Carney told journalists in the South Korean city of Gyeongju, referring to China.&nbsp;&quot;Our overall discussion was constructive,&quot; he added. Carney said Saturday he had accepted an invitation from Xi to visit &quot;in the new year&quot;. &quot;I directed our ministers and officials to work together to find solutions to current challenges and to identify areas for cooperation and growth,&quot; he said. Carney apologizes to Trump&nbsp;The US president last Saturday said he was hiking tariffs on Canadian goods by an additional 10% and terminated all trade talks. This followed what Trump called a &quot;fake&quot; anti-tariff ad campaign that featured the late ex-president Ronald Reagan. Carney said Saturday he had apologized to Trump for that ad. &quot;I did apologize to the president. The president was offended,&quot; he said.

Canada PM says Xi talks 'turning point', apologizes to Trump

AIR FORCE ONE: US President Donald Trump said Saturday he was hiking tariffs on Canadian goods by an additional 10%, in the latest fallout over a Canadian anti-tariff ad that featured late US leader Ronald Reagan. The announcement came two days after Trump said he had terminated all trade talks with Canada over what he called the &quot;fake&quot; ad campaign. &quot;Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD,&quot; Trump said on his Truth Social platform, posting the message as he flew to Asia for meetings with key regional leaders. &quot;Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now,&quot; he said. &#39;High tariffs trigger trade wars&#39;The ad from the Canadian province of Ontario used quotes from a 1987 radio address on trade that Reagan delivered, in which he warned of the ramifications he said high tariffs on imports could have on the US economy. It cited the Republican as saying that &quot;high tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars,&quot; a quote that matches a transcript of his speech on the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library&#39;s website. The Ronald Reagan Foundation wrote on X on Thursday that the Ontario government had used &quot;selective audio and video&quot; and that it was reviewing its legal options. Adding extra spice to the cross-border row, baseball&#39;s World Series features a Canadian team, the Toronto Blue Jays, facing a US team, the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Blue Jays thrashed the Dodgers 11-4 in the first game on Friday. Ontario said it would pull the offending anti-tariff ad on Monday so that negotiations could restart, but not before it aired again on Saturday night during the second game of the baseball showdown. Economic strategy &#39;needs to change&#39;Trump&#39;s global sectoral tariffs -- particularly on steel, aluminum, and autos -- have hit Canada hard, forcing job losses and squeezing businesses. For now, the United States and Canada adhere to the existing North American trade deal, the USMCA, which ensures that roughly 85% of cross-border trade in both directions remains tariff-free. But in a speech on Wednesday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said the United States has raised &quot;its tariffs to levels last seen during the Great Depression.&quot; &quot;Our economic strategy needs to change dramatically,&quot; Carney added, saying the process &quot;will take some sacrifices and some time.&quot; Trump and Carney are both set to attend a dinner on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in South Korea on Wednesday. But Trump has said he had no plans to meet Carney.

Trump increasing tariffs on Canada by 10%

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said Thursday that he was immediately ending all trade talks with Canada, accusing it of misquoting former president Ronald Reagan in an advertising campaign against tariffs. &ldquo;Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED,&rdquo;&nbsp;Trump&nbsp;said on his Truth Social network. &ldquo;The Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an advertisement, which is FAKE, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about Tariffs.&rdquo; <div class="fr-embed" style="line-height: 2;"><iframe src="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/115426967566430347/embed" class="truthsocial-embed" style="max-width: 100%; border: 0;" width="600" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">&nbsp;</iframe></div> The ad used quotes from Reagan&#39;s speech, in which he warned against some of the ramifications that high tariffs on foreign imports could have on the US economy. It cited Reagan as saying that &quot;high tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars,&quot; a quote that matches a transcript of his speech on the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library&#39;s website. The latest extraordinary twist in relations between the North American neighbors comes just over two weeks after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney visited Trump in the White House to seek a relaxation of stiff US tariffs. The Ronald Reagan Foundation said on X that the government of the Canadian province of Ontario had used &ldquo;selectively audio and video&rdquo; from a radio address to the nation on trade by Reagan in April 1987. It said the ad &ldquo;misrepresents&rdquo; what the Republican former actor had said in his address, adding that it was &ldquo;reviewing its legal options in this matter.&rdquo;<div class="fr-embed"><div class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" style="display: flex; max-width: 550px; width: 100%; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; line-height: 2;"><iframe id="twitter-widget-0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" title="X Post" src="https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-0&features=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%3D%3D&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1981524620265046408&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fmain.d1wrm1qseko1cp.amplifyapp.com%2Flogin&sessionId=1141a9813ad0ce793e60bfedfb742088948967ab&theme=light&widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&width=550px" style="position: static; visibility: visible; width: 550px; height: 777px; display: block; flex-grow: 1;"></iframe></div></div>Trump said the ad was designed to &ldquo;interfere with the decision of the US Supreme Court,&rdquo; which is due to rule on his sweeping global tariffs. &lsquo;World-class leader&rsquo;The sudden decision to end trade talks will come as a blow to Carney, whom Trump described as a &ldquo;world-class leader&rdquo; when they met on Oct. 7, adding that the Canadian would be &ldquo;very happy&rdquo; with their discussion. At the time, however, Trump offered no immediate concessions on tariffs. Roughly 85% of cross-border trade in both directions remains tariff-free, as the United States and Canada continue to adhere to the existing North American trade deal, the USMCA. But Trump&#39;s global sectoral tariffs -- particularly on steel, aluminium, and autos -- have hit Canada hard, forcing job losses and squeezing businesses.
