Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that he has apologised to US President Donald Trump over an anti-tariff advertisement which had used a Ronald Reagan quote.

Last week, in response to the advert, Trump suspended trade talks with Canada and said he would impose an additional 10% tariff on Canadian imports.

"I did apologise to the president," Carney told reporters at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in South Korea on Saturday.

The commercial used a series of clips from former President Reagan's 1987 national radio address, in which he argued that tariffs would hurt America's economy.
