U.S. President Donald Trump tells reporters Canada and Iran both want a deal
On September 12, 2026, during his visit to Dublin, President Donald Trump stated that both Canada and Iran are seeking to establish a deal. At the time, Trump was preparing to head to his golf course in western Ireland. He was questioned about the United States leaving the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement on trade, and he mentioned that Canada is eager to make a deal, similar to Iran's desire for a deal.
However, Trump suggested that neither nation may be prepared for a deal just yet. The most recent formal negotiations between Canada and the United States concluded on August 21. Meanwhile, Iran has been targeting ships attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, which has become a significant factor in Iran's strategy during the ongoing conflict.
Despite Canada and Iran's mutual desire for a deal, Trump acknowledged that Iran's leaders may be unwilling to compromise.
