Trump says Canada agreement outline is "concept of a very good deal"

With congressional elections set for Tuesday, President Donald Trump told reporters that his administration had formed an early outline for an agreement with Canada after speaking with Prime Minister Mark Carney over the weekend. Trump made the remark while presenting his closing case to voters, defending his use of tariffs and his handling of the economy as surveys indicated household expenses were a top concern. The tariff fight with Canada has figured in Maine’s Senate contest, where Republican Sen. Susan Collins is in a difficult race; Trump recently changed levies of 50% on a range of Canadian imports to reduce strain on industries in that state. The election will decide which party runs Congress and whether Trump will face legislative constraints.
