Carney: US asks less, offers more; no deal yet

The United States and Canada have not reached a trade agreement, despite what Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney describes as a shift in the talks: the US is asking less and offering more. Asharq Business with Bloomberg reported Carney’s assessment on November 4. After a November 1 call with President Donald Trump, Carney described their conversation as good and said negotiating teams would work over the coming weeks toward a mutually beneficial agreement. Trump said his administration had a concept for a new trade agreement and that he expected a deal soon; those statements describe a proposal and an expectation, not an agreement.
