Prime Minister Mark Carney said the United States is “asking less” and “offering more” in negotiations aimed at a trade deal that he says are making progress.
But he cautioned still more headway needs to be made.
Mr. Carney, speaking to reporters Tuesday at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda, said U.S. negotiators have backed off a position that regarded French-protection laws as trade barriers as well as proposals that would have restricted Ottawa’s ability to sign trade deals with countries.
