Trump floats 'concept' of US-Canada deal that includes pipeline talking to Carney

Montreal/Dubuque - United States President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that his administration is considering a potential trade agreement with Canada. The Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, informed that the two leaders had a positive conversation about the future of trade between their nations. Trump discussed this idea further with reporters in Dubuque, Iowa, stating that the proposed deal would be beneficial for Canadian farmers, the country as a whole, and ensure stability.

Carney, in a prior statement shared on social media, mentioned that their discussion builds upon recent constructive talks regarding a mutually advantageous trade deal that would generate jobs, enhance affordability, and fully respect Canada's language, culture, and sovereignty. The administration's staff will now work in the coming weeks to achieve this goal.

The United States and Canada have been imposing billions of dollars worth of tariffs on each other in recent months, with the issue of tariffs becoming a concern in certain northern US border states, such as Michigan and Maine, ahead of the US midterm elections on Tuesday.
