New Delhi, Nov. 1 -- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Saturday confirmed that he had apologized to US President Donald Trump for Ontario's decision to run an anti-tariff ad based on the words of former Republican President Ronald Reagan.

Following the controversy over the ad, which Trump called 'fake', the US President announced he would be hiking tariffs on Canadian goods by an additional 10% and terminated all trade talks with Ottawa.

"I did apologize to the President. The President was offended," Carney told journalists in the South Korean city of Gyeongju, AFP reported, adding trade talks would restart when the US is "ready".
