Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and US President Donald Trump have discussed the possibility of a new trade deal between the two countries. Carney described their latest conversation as positive, saying both sides would work over the coming weeks to reach an agreement that benefits workers and businesses while respecting Canada’s sovereignty. Trump also said the two countries had developed the basic concept of a deal that would benefit American farmers and the US economy. The talks come amid billions of dollars in tariffs imposed by both countries, with the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline also potentially included in the agreement.
