Carney has 'good conversation' with Trump on future of Canada-U.S. trade as midterms near

Carney said both sides will keep working toward a deal that would create jobs, lower family costs and ease the tariff dispute.

  • Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney reported a "good conversation" with United States President Donald Trump on Sunday regarding bilateral trade, with negotiating teams set to work in the coming weeks toward a mutually beneficial agreement.
  • Tensions previously escalated when Canada exited negotiations in August over sovereignty concerns, prompting Trump to impose 50% tariffs on roughly $20 billion in Canadian goods before both sides resumed talks.
  • The ongoing trade dispute has emerged as a key issue ahead of Tuesday's midterm elections in the United States, with Republican candidates in Michigan and Maine facing pressure over tariffs; Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers called for an end to the tariff war.
  • Negotiators are now working to finalize a deal, marking a significant shift from Wednesday when Carney said the countries were not yet positioned to reach an agreement before Tuesday's elections.
  • Carney is pursuing new markets to reduce reliance on the United States, having launched an economic and security alliance with the European Union on Friday while aiming to double Canadian exports outside the United States over the next decade.
