  "account": "Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Canada and the United States are working towards a mutually beneficial trade deal in the coming weeks after a conversation with President Donald Trump, according to a post on social media. Carney emphasized that such a deal would create jobs, lower costs for families, and respect Canada's culture and sovereignty. These comments indicate that a deal may not be finalized before the U.S. midterms on Tuesday. The prime minister had previously stated that his government is not at that position in reaching a trade deal. The two countries had suspended talks in August due to the U.S. pushing for language that would limit Canada's ability to enter into agreements with other nations and weaken French language requirements. The tensions led to the implementation of 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods by the U.S., which Canada responded to with similar duties. Trump had previously remarked that Canada had been \"extremely nice\" recently, claiming that his tariffs had improved relations. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called on Carney to deliver real results, urging him to finalize a great deal.",
