President Trump's top trade negotiator wants him
to call a truce with Canada and end the trade war.
Both sides say they are making progress,
but as reporter Caroline Shively explains,
there are still several issues that need to be worked out.
As the tariff war with Canada continues,
President Trump's top trade advisor is reportedly pushing him
to make a deal, and it could be working.
After talks with U.S. Trade Representative Jamison Greer, the president
said Tuesday he's close to signing a new agreement with Canada.
But Prime Minister Mark Carney says there are still
a number of sticking points, and in the meantime,
he'll keep pivoting to trade with the EU and China.
It means affordability.
More competition, more choice, easier access.
It means opportunity, opportunity for our youth,
opportunity for our researchers, opportunity for our companies.
And that's a sentiment increasingly shared
by other American partners who are looking
for more stable trade relationships around the world.
Rising costs, climate change, trade,
weaponization of tariffs, and all of this hitting directly.
The pockets of our people.
The president is still standing behind the tariffs.
He made it a big issue on the campaign trail,
claiming they're not only contributing to American success,
but also global stability.
Tariffs have...
Helped us end eight wars.
Five of the eight, I would say, was because of trade and tariffs.
Of course, that puts him at odds
with the Democratic majority in Congress,
which is expected to make tariff relief a big focus next year.
We've got to claw back the tariff policies
so that we're actually having some input into what's
happening in tariffs, not crazy tariffs.
Well, Canadian Prime Minister Carney says
he's hoping for a new agreement
with President Trump sometime over the next few weeks.
