Story summary

As of November 3, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the U.S. is close to finalizing a trade deal with Canada, while Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said more work remains to be done despite some progress. After halting formal trade talks in August due to disagreements over tariffs on nearly $28 billion worth of Canadian goods, both leaders engaged in "good conversations" following Trump's comments about Canada working hard to reach a deal. Carney noted that Washington had dropped some earlier demands and was now offering more flexibility, with negotiations described as becoming more intense. The discussions come ahead of the U.S. midterm elections on November 3, where the ongoing trade dispute has been a key issue among candidates.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
