Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has had a constructive conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump about a potential trade deal, with negotiators set to work toward an agreement in the coming weeks. Carney said the conversation built on recent discussions about the outlines of a deal that would create jobs, lower costs for families and protect Canada's languages, culture and sovereignty. Trump said both sides had 'the concept' of a mutually beneficial deal. The two sides have been discussing possible relief from U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel and automobiles, although no details of a potential agreement have been announced.
Carney has been in the midst of difficult trade talks with Trump, who has at times shown his dissatisfaction with his neighbor to the north as only he can. Carney said that the crucial message, also for the Trump White House, was that the talks with Brussels concerned a 'positive association' and partnership 'to help solve global problems' and address global challenges.
