Story summary

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told CNBC that President Donald Trump is comfortable with the current state of trade talks with Canada, stating there's no urgency for a new deal despite ongoing tensions between the two countries. The dispute intensified after negotiations collapsed in August, when Ottawa walked away from discussions over last-minute demands by the U.S., including restrictions on Canada’s ability to enter into other trade deals. In response, both sides have imposed retaliatory tariffs on goods like steel, aluminum, and dairy products. Greer noted that while strong trade continues between the nations—particularly in oil, gas, and potash—Trump's administration feels no rush to resolve the dispute despite concerns raised by Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney about sovereignty issues.
