Washington: US President Donald Trump on Friday (local time) said a trade deal with Canada was moving forward and expressed confidence that an agreement would be finalised, while also announcing that Washington had started work on a new deal with Mexico.
Speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews before departing for Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Trump was asked about the status of the Canada deal. He said, "Pretty much, I think so, we'll see. I've dealt with the Prime Minister, have a good relationship and yeah, we have to take care of our farmers. Our farmers are very important to me and the deal with Canada is moving along and we should be able to have a deal with Canada."
