Canada, US make progress on trade deal, Carney says
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada and the United States are making progress towards a trade deal following lengthy talks with US President Donald Trump, although the two countries have yet to reach an agreement.
Carney disclosed this on Saturday while speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the 49th ASEAN Summit in Manila, Philippines, where he is attending a state visit and meeting with Southeast Asian leaders.
He also reaffirmed Canada’s commitment to NATO, saying the country would not withdraw from the military alliance.
Carney said the security architecture for a free Europe should be determined by European countries and NATO, rather than Russia.
The Canadian prime minister’s comments come amid ongoing discussions between Ottawa and Washington over trade relations and broader security issues.
