Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced progress towards a future trade deal with the United States, which could help ease tensions between the two North American neighbours.
The Sunday announcement came just two days before the November 3 US midterm elections, which will determine control of the US Congress.
“Good conversation with US President Donald Trump on the future of Canada-U.S. trade,” Carney posted on X on Sunday.
In his second term, Trump has upended global trade by imposing tariffs on many of the US’s allies, including Canada – one of the US’s biggest trading partners.
