US EditionTrump says 'We'll see' on whether to restart trade talks with Canada
Trump praised a productive meeting with Canada and Mexico but gave no clear timeline for resuming stalled trade talks, which have been suspended since October, a spokesperson said.
- On Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump declined to commit to restarting trade talks with Canada, emphasizing his good relationship with Prime Minister Mark Carney.
- Talks were suspended in October after an Ontario-sponsored ad prompted Trump to halt negotiations amid sweeping tariffs and 35 per cent duties on Canada.
- The closed-door encounter followed an informal discussion that a Carney spokesperson called constructive, and the Prime Minister's Office said leaders agreed to keep working on CUSMA.
- Canada and Mexico are seeking tariff off-ramps as CUSMA enters a mandatory review next year, while both push for duty-free continental trade amid U.S. tariff threats.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump mused about letting CUSMA die when it comes up for review next year, signalling a hard line as tariffs hit steel, aluminum, automobiles, lumber, and copper.
