Carney and Trump Discuss Framework of New Canada-US Trade Deal

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney discussed the outline of a new bilateral trade agreement with US President Donald Trump on Sunday, Turkey's state-run news agency Anadolu Agency reported.

Carney said on X, the social media platform, that the call built on recent talks about a deal that would create jobs, ease living costs for families and respect Canada's languages, culture and sovereignty.

He described the exchange with Trump as a "good conversation."

Carney added that negotiating teams from both countries would coordinate closely over the coming weeks to produce a final text.

The remarks followed comments Trump made last week, when he said Washington was "getting close to a deal" with Canada and accused Ottawa of having long profited at the expense of the United States.

Trade between the two countries remains strained after both sides imposed tariffs on billions of dollars' worth of goods following the collapse of earlier trade negotiations.

Canada and the United States share one of the largest trading relationships in the world, and tariffs have disrupted cross-border commerce in a range of sectors during the dispute.

The talks have not yet produced a final text, and the outcome of the coming weeks of negotiations remains uncertain.

The White House has not issued an official statement on the conversation between the two leaders.
