Trump believes trade agreement with Canada is possible

U.S. President Donald Trump recently shared optimism about reaching a trade deal with Canada, stating that an agreement is within reach if both sides can find common ground. Speaking to reporters, Trump emphasized that negotiations are moving forward, though he noted that the U.S. and Canada have different views on certain trade issues.

“It’s doable. We just need both countries to agree,” he said, highlighting the need for cooperation. The discussions come as Trump attends the G-7 summit in Canada, where trade talks are a key focus alongside global issues like Middle East tensions. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has also expressed hope for a deal, though he cautioned that a final agreement might not be ready during the summit.

Recent reports indicate that U.S. and Canadian officials have exchanged a working document outlining potential terms, signaling progress toward a new trade pact. Trump’s push for a deal follows his broader trade strategy, which includes imposing tariffs to reshape global commerce. While some tariffs on Canada are exempt under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, the threat of new duties looms if talks stall.

Both nations aim to resolve differences quickly, with Trump suggesting a deal could be finalized in days or weeks if negotiations stay on track. The outcome of these talks could strengthen economic ties between the U.S. and Canada, benefiting businesses and consumers. As discussions continue, leaders remain focused on finding a fair and mutually beneficial solution.
