The reason was that Trump "took offense," Carney confirmed during a press conference in South Korea on Saturday.
It was just over a week ago that Trump lashed out at a commercial commissioned by the Canadian province of Ontario. The film was broadcast in the United States and featured statements critical of tariffs by 1980s President Ronald Reagan.
Trump reacted by suspending trade talks with Canada and threatening to raise tariffs by ten percent.
Carney now also confirms that after previewing the film, he asked Ontario Premier Doug Ford not to air it.
It's not something I would have done, says Carney about the film, which he believes damages relations with the United States.
I am the one responsible, in my role as Prime Minister, for the relationship with the President of the United States.
Trump, who called the film "fake," himself stated on Friday that he had received an apology from Carney.
Ford stopped the film on Monday after it was broadcast in connection with two games in the final series of the American baseball league.
The film contains authentic statements by free trade advocate Reagan.
