US President Donald Trump said on Thursday it will be difficult to make a trade deal with Canada after the country announced it is backing Palestinian statehood. Canadian Prime Minster Mark Carney’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Carney announced on Wednesday Canada is planning to recognize the State of Palestine at a meeting of the United Nations in September Canada’s announcement follows France and Britain in recognizing a Palestinian state. Israel and its closest ally, the US, both rejected Carney’s statements.

Canada intends to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations in September, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Wednesday.

The move would make Canada the third G7 state to do so, after the UK and France said they will make a similar move.
