Trade talks are reportedly continuing between Canada and the U.S., with formal meetings having taken place since U.S. President Donald Trump revealed more threats and demands last week, a source close to the White House said.

The country’s new prime minister, Mark Carney, has been called the “Trump whisperer,” and negotiations have been cordial and professional. But it’s been a wild ride.

President Donald Trump published a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday, accusing Canada of having "financially retaliated" against the U.S.

Canada's International Trade Minister said on Thursday that there was interest from both sides to advance trade talks with South American bloc Mercosur, as Ottawa seeks new deals in a push to diversify from the U.

Donald Trump's tariff policy boosts US revenue. Customs duties hit a record $64 billion in the second quarter of 2025. Most nations avoid retaliation, preferring negotiation. China and Canada initially resisted but later retreated.

Trump on Monday said the United States would ship "billions of dollars' worth" of military equipment to NATO members, paid for by the alliance, to be handed over to Ukrainian forces battling grinding Russian advances. Trump had earlier this month suggested NATO would "100 percent" pay for U.S. weapons, which would be sent to Ukraine.

India may soon reach a long-awaited trade agreement with the United States, President Donald Trump said in an interview aired Wednesday. The two countries are currently holding their fifth round of talks as negotiators from New Delhi recently returned to Washington.
