Trump says Canada ’working very hard’ to make a deal with US
Oct 23 (Reuters) - US President Donald Trump on Friday that Canada is working hard to make a trade deal with the US.
"Canada is working very hard to make a deal with us, and I hate to say this, but we have all the cards," Trump told reporters at the White House.
The Canadian government did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The US and Canada have been locked in a trade standoff since talks broke down in August, triggering new tariffs and retaliation on both sides of the border.
The breakdown has widened a rift between the longtime allies, who have blamed each other for the failed talks, spurred Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to urge a further shift away from Canada’s biggest trading partner, and cast doubt on the viability of the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
