US President Donald Trump said after talks with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney that the US-Canada trade agreement is “very close,” while Carney said that the two sides will work hard to achieve “mutually beneficial” results in the next few weeks. “We have the concept of reaching a very good deal with Canada,” Trump told reporters and reiterated his previous claim that the US “has been losing money for years” in trade with its northern neighbor Canada. In the US midterm elections on Tuesday local time, the Republicans' control of Congress is at risk. Trump and Carney gave the most optimistic outlook on trade negotiations since the negotiations fell apart in August. Carney posted on social media earlier Sunday that he had a conversation with Trump and the two sides reached a consensus on the framework of an agreement based on “recent constructive discussions” that would create jobs, increase family affordability, and “fully respect Canada's language, culture, and sovereignty.” “Over the next few weeks, our team will work to achieve this goal,” Carney said.
