Ontario Premier Doug Ford doubled down on saying U.S. President Donald Trump could “kiss my ass” as the two leaders exchanged blows on Monday, with Trump referring to the premier as “Flunky Ford” and the “less charismatic, intelligent” version of his late brother Rob Ford.

The insults are the latest in the fallout of the Canada-U.S. trade war, which re-escalated after trade talks between the two countries collapsed over the weekend.
