Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and US President Donald Trump have resumed discussions about a potential trade deal following a public dispute over trade policies. Carney confirmed on social media that he had a constructive conversation with Trump about a mutually beneficial agreement that would create jobs, lower costs for families, and protect Canada's languages, culture, and sovereignty. Both leaders indicated they are close to finalizing a deal, with Trump stating they are 'very close to having a deal' and emphasizing it would be 'great for our farmers, great for our country, and it'll be fine for Canada.' The discussions come as the two nations seek to resolve their bitter trade dispute ahead of the US midterm elections. Trump previously imposed 50 per cent tariffs on approximately $US20 billion in Canadian goods after Canada walked away from negotiations in August, rejecting US demands that Carney claimed threatened Canadian sovereignty, French-language protections, and the auto industry. The current talks focus on reducing tariffs on Canadian steel and automobiles, with Trump mentioning that US farmers would pay no tariffs on Canadian products under the proposed agreement. The trade war has become a political issue in the upcoming US elections, particularly in Michigan and Maine, where Senate races are critical. Trump's repeated threats to make Canada the 51st US state have prompted Carney to reduce Canada's dependence on its southern neighbour. Despite the recent positive developments, Carney had previously stated that the countries were not yet ready to reach an agreement before the midterm elections. The negotiations now aim to deliver a concrete outcome in the coming weeks, building on recent discussions about the outlines of a deal.
