Description

While walking the red carpet at the Kennedy Center Honors Gala on Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump took time to answer questions from reporters, including an update on trade talks with Canada and Mexico. Following the FIFA World Cup draw in the U.S. capitol on Friday, Trump said, “for a half hour,” he had “very good” and “very productive” discussions on trade with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. Though the Republican leader noted he has “a great relationship with Canada” and Carney, he said, “they're very tough traders.” Asked if he would restart trade negotiations he halted with Canada in late October, Trump responded, “Canada makes a lot of things that we don't need – because we make them also – but we'll work it out.” While Trump’s tariffs have thrown North American trade policy into uncertainty, the exemption handed out to Canada and Mexico on CUSMA-compliant goods has cushioned both nations against the worst impacts – though Trump signalled recently that he is open to letting that trade deal expire.
