Story summary

As of October 27, 2026, President Donald Trump expressed optimism about reaching a trade deal with Canada, stating it could happen "pretty soon," nine days before the US midterm elections. Initially, Trump accused Canada of exploiting the United States through trade imbalances and imposed tariffs on Canadian goods like plywood and agricultural machinery. However, recent negotiations have intensified slightly, according to Prime Minister Mark Carney. The White House has eased some tariffs following lobbying by U.S. Senator Susan Collins from Maine, indicating a potential shift in rhetoric due to inflation concerns among American voters. Despite progress, both sides remain cautious, with Carney noting that any advances are because the US is moving closer to Canada's demands.
