A trade agreement between the United States and Canada would be reached “pretty soon,” President Donald Trump told a campaign rally on Sunday, nine days ahead of crucial US midterm elections.
Tensions between the North American neighbors have been high since trade talks broke down in August, with Trump imposing a slew of new tariffs in response.
“We’ll have that settled pretty soon. They’re willing to give us anything at this moment,” the president said of an agreement during the rally in Port Huron, a Michigan town on the US-Canada border hit hard by his tariff war.
