President Trump said he is optimistic about resolving the trade dispute with Canada and that a deal could be reached "soon", but did not say whether formal negotiations have resumed. Asked if he planned to withdraw from the US?Mexico?Canada Agreement (USMCA), he avoided a direct answer and said he is pressing for better terms for U.S. farmers. He accused Canada of imposing "400%" tariffs on U.S. farmers and other barriers and said those measures would be removed as part of a prospective agreement. 12-SEP-2026 07:43 AM ET
