Trump Sees Canada Deal ‘Fairly Soon,’ Downplays Leaving USMCA

President Donald Trump expressed optimism about resolving a trade fight with Canada and downplayed the prospect of quitting a continental trade pact, in a potential sign of de-escalating tensions between the two countries.

Trump was asked Saturday whether he intended to have the US leave the US-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement during a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin in Dublin.

“We’re doing great. We’re going to have a great relationship with Mexico. We actually have a good one with Canada,” Trump said.
