CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER SAYS HE HAD GOOD CONVERSATION WITH U.S. OFFICIALS ON TRADE
Nov. 2, 2026
Agri-Pulse reports:
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Sunday he had a "good conversation" with Trump regarding the future of U.S.-Canada trade.
"This builds on our recent constructive discussions on the outlines of a mutually beneficial trade deal that would create jobs for our workers, boost affordability for families, and fully respect Canada's languages, culture, and sovereignty," Carney said. "Our teams will now be working in the coming weeks to deliver that outcome."
Talks between the countries previously imploded in late August. Trump has been making strides to de-escalate the trade war with Canada ahead of Tuesday's election.
The administration on Oct. 23 dropped levies on certain goods critical to agriculture in a bid to aid Republican Sen. Susan Collins in her reelection bid.
The levies on the newly exempt Canadian goods were quickly replaced with other goods, signaling that the trade war remains. The talks with Canada could be a step toward ending the contentious battle.
"The Trump administration welcomes continued engagement with Canada as we work toward finalizing the details of a deal that will deliver meaningful results for the American people," a White House official told Agri-Pulse in a statement.
