Trump, Carney discuss possible US-Canada deal to ease trade tensions
President Trump says the US has the “concept” of a new trade deal with Canada and Prime Minister Mark Carney says the talks were “good.”
US President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney discussed the potential for a trade deal between their two countries during recent conversations, according to reports. Trump stated that his administration had a "concept" for an agreement, while Carney described the latest talks as "good." The proposed deal would reportedly include the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, which has been opposed by environmental activists.
Canada and the US, as Trump's biggest trading partners, have faced several trade tariffs since Trump took office. The two nations' trade talks broke down in August, leading to the imposition of tariffs on around $20 billion worth of goods, including hockey sticks and cement. Canada has since built stronger trade ties with other partners, such as the European Union, which announced an alliance that would make Canada the bloc's first associate member.
