Trump: US Close to Reaching Trade Deal with Canada

US President Donald Trump said today, Tuesday, that the United States is close to reaching a trade deal with Canada.

In an interview with "Fox News," he added: "Canada is a very good country and we will make a deal with them very soon. We will make a great deal."

Canada and the United States have exchanged tariffs worth billions of dollars in recent months. Imposing tariffs on Canada has become a controversial issue in some northern border states such as Michigan and Maine, ahead of the US midterm elections taking place today, Tuesday.

On Sunday, Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that they had spoken about a trade deal, which the US president said would be "great for our farmers." Carney stated on X: "Our teams will now work over the coming weeks to reach that outcome."
