US President Donald Trump said that Canada has been very difficult to deal with, as trade discussions between the two countries continue without a resolution that satisfies Washington.
According to Trump, Ottawa would like to reach a deal with the United States, but the terms discussed so far have not met Washington's expectations. The comments point to ongoing friction in the trade relationship between the two neighboring countries.
Ongoing negotiations
The remarks suggest that talks between the two governments remain unresolved, with the Trump administration signaling that it is holding out for terms it considers more favorable before finalizing any agreement with Canada.
Trade relations between the United States and Canada, two of the world's most interconnected economies, have periodically been a source of tension, with disputes over tariffs, market access and specific industries shaping the tone of negotiations in recent years.
No timeline was given for when a deal might be reached, leaving open the question of how long the current impasse between Washington and Ottawa will persist.
