JAKARTA - Canadian Prime Minister (PM) Mark Carney apologized to US President Donald Trump who was offended by the broadcast of an anti-tariff message ad featuring former US President Ronald Reagan.

"I apologize to the president. President [Trump]

"I'm offended," Carney told reporters in the city of Gyeongju, South Korea, Saturday local time, quoted from AFP.

The anti-tariff messaging ad aired during a baseball match between Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeleswas in Ontario Province, Canada, on Friday, October 24 evening.

In the ad, documentation was shown when the late US President Ronald Reagan addressed tariffs with the potential to cause trade wars and shake global markets into economic disasters.

Trump responded on October 25 on his social media, Truth Social, urging that the ad display should be stopped immediately.

According to him, the advertisement is a form of fraud and hostilities. Strictly speaking, Trump said Canada had to bear the consequences.

"Due to these acts of hostility and deviation of facts, I raised the tariff against Canada by 10 percent above the applicable rate," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
