Trump Says Canada Tariff Deal Could Come "Soon"
Published
President Donald Trump said on Friday that a trade agreement with Canada could be reached "soon." He made the comment during a rally near the Michigan border, where he spoke to supporters about trade and the economy. Michigan is one of the states most closely tied to Canada, because many cars and car parts move across the border every day.
Trump has used tariffs, which are taxes on imported goods, as a major part of his trade policy. He has argued that tariffs protect American workers and bring more manufacturing back to the United States. Canada is one of the country's largest trading partners, so changes to tariffs can affect prices, jobs, and businesses on both sides of the border. Canadian officials have said they want a fair deal that protects their industries.
The details of a possible agreement were not announced at the rally. Trump did not give a specific date for when a deal might be finished. Economists say that trade talks between the two countries often take a long time, and that businesses will be watching closely for any change in tariff rules. For now, many people in both countries are waiting to see whether the talks lead to a final agreement.
