President Donald Trump said the United States was close to reaching a trade agreement with Canada, telling Fox News on November 3 that the countries would soon make a deal. The United States and Canada have imposed tariffs worth billions of dollars on each other in recent months, making the dispute an issue in northern border states including Michigan and Maine ahead of U.S. midterm elections. Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney discussed a potential agreement on November 1. Carney said their teams would work in the coming weeks to deliver an outcome, while Trump said the agreement would benefit U.S. farmers.
