U.S. President Donald Trump answered “we’ll see” when he was asked Sunday whether he’d resume the trade talks he halted with Canada earlier this year.
Trump made several comments about the ongoing trade dispute with Canada as he spoke with reporters outside a gala for the 2025 Kennedy Center Honors.
He says he has a good relationship with Prime Minister Mark Carney, but that Canada, in his words, “makes a lot of things we don’t need because we make them also.”
Trump then said, “We’ll work it out.”
The president halted trade talks in October over an Ontario-sponsored ad that quoted former president Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs.
He and Carney appeared to get on well Friday when they sat with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum during the FIFA World Cup draw before the three leaders entered a closed-door meeting.
“We spoke for a half-hour. Very good, very productive. (We) talked mostly trade,” Trump said of the meeting. “I have a great relationship with Canada. They’re very tough traders, but I have a very good relationship with the prime minister and with Canada.
