Oct. 7 (UPI) -- U.S. President Donald Trump met Tuesday with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to resume trade discussions and provide tariff relief to Canada's steel and lumber sectors.
It marked Carney's second White House visit this year with the express aim of getting trade talks back on track after Trump imposed a 35% general tariff on all imports from Canada in punitive measures that went into effect Aug. 1.
"The people of Canada will love us again," Trump said during his Oval Office meeting the with Canadian leader.
Canada is the only G7 country that has yet to secure a trade deal with the United States since Trump hiked tariffs early in his second term on scores of allied nations.
