U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the United States is about to reach a trade agreement with Canada. However, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated that there is still work to be done between the two sides, and Washington has abandoned some of its demands.
Trump said in an interview with Fox News: "Canada is a great country, and we will reach an agreement with Canada soon. We will make a wonderful deal."
In recent months, Canada and the United States have imposed tariffs on goods worth tens of billions of dollars each other.
On the eve of the U.S. midterm elections on Tuesday, the imposition of tariffs in Canada has become a topic of concern for northern border states such as Michigan and Maine.
While the tariff war continues, Trump and the Governor of Ontario have attacked each other.
Trump and Cohn both said that they had discussed trade agreements on both days.
Khan said that the United States has withdrawn some of its previous requests, including a request that would have given Washington the final decision-making power over any trade agreements Canada might sign with other countries.
After the summit in Antigua, Kenny said in a live news conference: "We have made progress, but the negotiations are not yet complete. In summary, the demands they put forward have decreased, and the concessions they are willing to make have increased, but we have not yet reached a complete agreement."
